And our kids' data won't be hacked and resold? Right.<br /><br />2) glad I left writes: "I need to keep a low profile until I'm out of the fire-without-cause part of my career."<br />At least you have now, and will have, some slight degree of protection in your union. Educators at charter schools are "fire-at-will" and will certainly toe the line and do what the master says without a peep of complaint...and these schools, such as those in New Orleans, serve some of our most vulnerable children. seattle citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724175257161649500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-84429381450257673092014-06-03T05:59:20.117-07:002014-06-03T05:59:20.117-07:00I'm a teacher, not a parent, and unfortunately...I'm a teacher, not a parent, and unfortunately I'm still waiting out (barely) my 3-year probationary period. I've been asking questions of our union about guidelines, and I'm putting notice of the situation in my syllabus, but I need to keep a low profile until I'm out of the fire-without-cause part of my career. I expect though that the move toward outside companies housing data is not as limited as I hope. By posting here I hope to make others in other districts aware of some of the technologies to keep an eye out for, I doubt discussion of eVAL will ever go public as it is supposed to be an internal evaluation tool.<br /><br />dw, I'll see how fare down the accounts extend, I think to middle school but I'm not sure as I'm in high school.<br /><br />glad I leftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-64373049144536761982014-06-02T23:22:22.007-07:002014-06-02T23:22:22.007-07:00dglad I left,

COPPA laws may be helpful if they are doing this to kids under the age of 13.<br /><br />Raise some hell. Short of suing them, what can you do? The biggest thing is to publicize the heck out of what they're doing. Go to every meeting that you can and speak out. Make sure every last parent in your district knows that your administrators are <i>giving away</i> their children's personal data to a data-mining company. The only way to stop this crap is for parents to rise up en masse and complain.

That the district and others seem to want to push back should make any parent suspicious.Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588239576000641336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-84603698776797693602014-06-02T17:36:52.186-07:002014-06-02T17:36:52.186-07:00Troubling.

My district has opted to go for google for education, giving all teachers and students basically g-mail addresses, and expecting us to use google drive to send and receive student work. I don't think there's any way for parents to opt out of it, students can choose not to sign in to their account if it's not necessary, but any teacher who puts their work on drive is pretty much demanding students log in and be tracked heavily (using chrome as a browser) while they work. <br />On top of that my district is starting to push us toward eVAL WA, with no guides as to how long digital records will be kept, and as far as I know no informed consent from parents.<br /><br />glad I leftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
