21st Century Learning and Teaching

When students and families provide personal information to schools for educational purposes, that information must be protected from abuse.

Education technology, used wisely, has the potential to transform learning for any child, anywhere. As our nation's schools embrace the vast potential of educational technology to enhance and personalize learning, they must ensure that students’ personal data is protected.

Through online platforms, mobile applications, and cloud computing, schools and edtech providers collect massive amounts of sensitive information about students - information that needs to be kept out of the hands of non-educational, commercial interests and other third parties.
