Since 2013, over 130 new student privacy laws have passed in 41 states, with more bills and regulations being rolled out each year that include many new requirements for educators and administrators to implement. Some state laws include the threat of jail or large fines when school staff even unintentionally violate student privacy.

This massive shift in the legal landscape, including the introduction of New York’s Education Law 2-d and Part 121 regulations, makes it hard for schools and districts to keep up. This isn’t only a legal problem. As technology changes and the amount of information schools collect and maintain increases, ensuring that new educators and administrators come into their schools with the skills needed to adequately protect student privacy in their day-to-day work is extremely challenging. Districts, edtech service providers, and other stakeholders still have many unanswered questions around student privacy rules. We will cover the history of student privacy laws and regulations, requirements for schools and companies.

Participants will learn the essentials for creating a culture of privacy, review the policies, training and communications around privacy that already exist in your learning environment, and plan next steps to educate all stakeholders on their role in protecting student privacy. This is part of a program initiated by the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), a Washington, DC-based think tank that seeks to advance responsible data practices. The forum is led by Internet privacy experts and includes an advisory board comprised of leading figures from industry, academia, law, and advocacy groups. For more information, visit www.fpf.org. This Future of Privacy Forum initiative aims to multiply on-the-ground student privacy support in the rapidly-evolving regulatory landscape

Program Objectives:

1. Knowledge: Expand and deepen your privacy and security knowledge.

2. Network: Establish ongoing relationships with a close cohort of privacy invested professionals.

3. Training: Acquire resources and information to support the development of a culture of privacy

Keynote:
USING BLENDED LEARNING MODELS TO DESIGN AND FACILITATE LEARNING FOR A CONCURRENT CLASSROOM

The concurrent classroom presents several challenges. It’s tough to meet the needs of students in class and online simultaneously. Often, there is an inequality of teacher attention, students struggle to stay engaged, and learning experiences do not maximize face-to-face and online learning affordances. When teachers rely exclusively on a whole group, teacher-led model, these challenges are exacerbated. Teachers can combat the challenges associated with the concurrent classroom by using blended learning models to prioritize differentiated small group and personalized 1:1 instruction, give students agency, and shift control over the pace of learning to students. This workshop will explore how teachers can use the station rotation model, flipped learning model, and playlist model to successfully engage students in a concurrent classroom.

The LHRIC Technology Leadership Institute is designed to provide participants with various opportunities to engage in discussion with experts and vendors around topics that are timely and relevant.

Keynote: REBOOT 2021 
Our educational systems were disrupted in the spring of 2020. We quickly had to pivot to a new way of teaching and learning our students remotely. While there have been many challenges along the way, there have also been some successes. During this interactive keynote, we'll reflect on what we've learned so far during this remote learning experience and share best practices as we move towards an unknown future. This keynote has a unique Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type ending that you won't want to miss! 

Tentative Agenda:

• 2:00-2:10 Welcome and Opening Remarks
• 2:10-2:18 Vendor Partner Spotlight Sessions (eChalk and Brightbytes)
• 2:20-2:30 Break
• 2:30-3:30 Keynote with Carl Hooker
• 3:30 Closing Remarks and Upcoming TLI Event Schedule 
  
  

Due to the virtualization of this conference, we are waiving the 8 seat per district cap for registration purposes.

He is a former teacher and administrator, and has authored six books on mobile learning, as well as being a National Faculty Member for Future Ready Schools.
