More on Student Data Privacy
From Politico, a great number of stories. The first being that the SXSWedu is going on this week: Education entrepreneurs from across the globe are flocking to Austin this week for SXSWedu. They’ll unveil the latest in education software and talk about how to innovate and disrupt their way toward better teaching and learning. And, of course, they’ll network. The conference is always known for showcasing new ed tech products, but this year, there’s another emerging theme: student data privacy . There are absolutely a large number of student data privacy events as well as Special Ed (I didn't see any on ELL) and computer science. And look who has "lounges" at this event: McGraw-Hill, Microsoft, Pearson and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. (Apparently, there is also a "playground" and it actually looks like it's for kids. )
