Access to digital learning tools and applications boomed last year as students and educators connected from homes and schools to learn. As the usage of digital applications expands, how do you help ensure your students’ data is safe?

In this edLeader Panel, Reg Leichty, Founder and Partner of Foresight Law and Policy, shares the latest federal and state legislative updates regarding student data privacy and compliance. Viewers will also learn about some proactive tools and programs available to districts to help safeguard student data, such as IMS Global Learning Consortium’s TrustEd Apps program and the partnership between IMS and CatchOn that enables districts to easily manage, monitor, and vet applications for compliance.

This recorded edLeader Panel will be of interest to preK-12 district leaders.
