Robbing Students of Recognition | Ideas and Thoughts from an EdTech - 8 views

  • As soon as I read it I realize they had violated our district policy which states we will never publish a photo of a student with a full name. I also realized in that moment how absurd that policy is.
  •  
    As we explore the idea of a digital footprint and identity we must consider that at some point we want to our students to own their work and accomplishments and showcase them to a variety of audiences. If I'm Tanner or Tanner's parents I want as many people as possible to know of his accomplishments.

Google's Apps for Education and the New Privacy Policy -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  •  
    In late January when Google announced that it was replacing 60 different privacy policies across its multiple sites and services with a single one, you might have thought Congress had taken up SOPA and PIPA again.

Google Apps for Education - Free Hosted Email (Gmail) for EDU - 4 views

  • A technology platform schools can trust

    Google Apps is also governed by a detailed Privacy Policy, which ensures we will not inappropriately share or use personal information placed in our systems. The Google Apps Terms of Service contractually ensures that your institution (or students, faculty, and staff) are the sole owners of their data. Because customers own the data they put into Google Apps, we believe it should be easy for your users to move their data in and out of our systems. The controls, processes and policies that protect user data in our systems have obtained a SAS 70 Type II attestation and will continue to seek similar attestation. Google complies with applicable US privacy law, and the Google Apps Terms of Service can specifically detail our obligations and compliance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) regulations. Google is registered with the US-EU Safe Harbor agreement, which helps ensure that our data protection compliance meets European Union standards for educational institutions.

What Google knows about you and how to tweak it - 12 views

  • Many of them, however, start out in the Google Privacy Center, which isn't just for telling you about Google's privacy principles. Lots of things can be found here, but the most important are under the Privacy tools subhead on the left side. Admittedly, I had never visited my own Dashboard before my conversation with McPhie, but I should have—and so should you. When you hit up the Dashboard while logged into your Google account, you can see a list of every Google product you have an account with, as well as the information each one has stored about you.

  • With California in dire straits, the governor hopes free textbooks could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
    • Mike Cullum
       
      So how are we going to pay the people who do the work of creating these "free" textbooks? If we could agree on content, perhaps school districts could work together and write the books and make them available through a creative commons license.
