An
organization that stays on top of privacy issues in schools has
released a set of videos to help education leaders understand the
various regulations affecting their work with sensitive student data.
The Future
of Privacy Forum's
new "Student
Privacy 101"
video series currently includes four videos, each under two minutes
long.
After
an introductory
video,
the animated series touches on the basics of how federal
and state privacy laws
affect teachers and staff, how to decrease the most common privacy
risks
and how to improve the transparency of what schools do with student
data.
"As
technology becomes increasingly prevalent in the classroom, faculty,
administrators and district leaders could benefit from a quick and
easy guide to understanding how they can help reduce privacy risks
and improve transparency around student data," said FPF Director
of Youth
& Education
Privacy,
Amelia Vance, in a statement. "FPF's new videos provide
an...overview of best practices and tips on how schools can protect
student privacy."
