Over the years, there has been increased use of technology in the classroom. The advances of technology into the classroom is great, but sometimes, all the different tools can become overwhelming.
To help, the ROE has created a bi-weekly series called #TuesdayTechTip to cover pertinent topics such as Zoom, wifi, social media, security and more. These videos are designed to help navigate through the technology world and everyday tech issues in a user-friendly way.
Cyber Security
Our schools work continuously to keep their systems access and data secure. There are several laws that districts need to follow in Illinois and Federally. Common ones you may not know the name of but hear about. Find out more with this week’s #TuesdayTechTip
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA”)
Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Student Online Personal Protection Act
Seesaw Breach
Last week many of our school districts experienced a coordinated “credential stuffing” attack using the Seesaw platform. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of compromised email accounts, so how does this happen?
Instagram Safety
Did you know that Instagram is the most used social media platform among students ages 13 and up? 84% of teens in the U.S. use it at least once a month.
