    I have to do a lot of file conversion as apart of my subject area, especially Drafting and Design. I also have students who have projects that require file conversion as well. This resource has proven to be invaluable as it has nearly every file format you can possibly think of and it does all the conversion in the cloud. Therefore, it is not slowing down your computer and it will email you when it is finished.

  • a majority know not very much (32 percent) or nothing at all (30 percent) about how schools currently collect, use, store and destroy student data, including information such as social security numbers, grades and behavior and attendance records
  • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which has undergone regulatory changes in recent years that some claimed have weakened it
  • Consistently, clearly and regularly communicating with students, parents and the community about privacy rights and district policies and practices with regards to student data privacy
  • districts that have adopted strong privacy policies should also have procedures in place to allow teachers to suggest apps or other online educational service that they would like to use (or have students use). While the process may slow down the introduction of the app into the learning environment, it will hopefully provide peace of mind to teachers, who will know the app has been properly vetted with regards to student privacy.
