Dive Brief:

  • A new Consortium for School Networking (CoSN)EdTechNext report explores the need for identity and access management in digital education technologies, the benefits of such resources and how schools in the U.S. are currently utilizing them.
  • CoSN Chief Strategy Officer Irene Spero says the report will help educators and administrators “address student data and privacy challenges.”
  • The report, which costs $99, defines five key points related to identity and access management, and provides case studies and practical examples of decisions related to ed-tech access and privacy. 

Dive Insight:

Privacy and access are issues intrinsically related to all digital content and resources, especially content individualized for student use. Yet the student data debate has long been plagued by half-truths, some of which the Data Quality Campaign says have been debunked. Federal law prevents the use of student data for any commercial purpose, and the Education Sciences Reform Act explicitly prevents the creation of any federal database that consists of student data. CoSN’s new report sets out guidelines and tips for best practices for ed tech access management and privacy.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
