What Do Schools Risk By Going ‘Full Google’? Kaitlin Morgan says, this year, her school district is going “full Google.”
Morgan teaches U.S. and world history and advises the yearbook at Woodlake Union High School in California’s Central Valley. At Woodlake, “full Google” means a plan to have one Google Chromebook for every two students by the spring, running Google Apps. The Chromebook is a relatively cheap, stripped-down laptop. It’s become popular in the education world, with 85 percent of its U.S. sales last year going to the ed market. And the Chromebook is just the beginning. It’s the beginning of what Google calls the “paperless classroom” — moving assignments, class discussions, feedback, tests and quizzes online. Now comes Google’s latest education offering, launched last week: Google Classroom.

Code of Technology Ethics for Educators. Code of Technology Ethics for Educators Since technology and computers have become an important part of our daily lives, it is equally important that technology be fused into the education process.

This Code will serve to guide educators in achieving ethical conduct while using computers in education. This document will provide educators with standards of conduct that govern their relationship with technology and their obligation to the communities they serve. I. Standard 1. Rationale: Educators strive to help students acquire, practice, and use new information in the best possible learning environments and with the best possible set of tools.

IT Best Practices Evaluating the Privacy and Security of Ed Tech 7 Questions to Guide the Process By Bill Fitzgerald When working with educational technology, responsible decision makers in schools recognize the need for solid security and privacy practice in software applications.

Education Technology and Data Insecurity. 18 min read This is part eight of my annual review of the year in ed-tech Pokémon Go, a free augmented reality game developed by Niantic (a company spun out of Google in 2015), became the most popular mobile game in US history this year.
The game was launched in July and despite mixed reviews, was downloaded some 10 million times the first week it was released. Pokémon Go generated more than $160 million by the end of July, hitting $600 million in revenue within its first 90 days on the market – the fastest mobile game to do so. Always eager to associate itself with the latest tech craze, education technology embraced Pokémon Go with great gusto: “Why Pokemon Go shows the future of learning gamification.” Préserver les données personnelles des élèves Avec l’utilisation croissante du numérique par le monde éducatif, l’établissement ou les enseignants sont parfois amenés à collecter et à publier via les réseaux informatiques des données personnelles concernant les élèves.
