The Danish Chromebook case is not a national problem. The Danish Chromebook case has is not only a national concern, its an international concern. From being a local small problem it has turned into a digital nightmare and a fight for childrens right to privacy in public schools on a larger scale that I ever imagined. Thanks to the Blog Freedom Tech for bringing this interview with me in association with Privacydad. In Denmark the case is dragging on and causes problems for many of the 53 municipalities who have invested in Chromebooks. They have to renew them but they are not sure if they buy a device that could be banned or not. And researching for suitalbe alternatives that we know can protect the privacy for children i public schools seems never to have entered the minds of the .... who ever is in charge !?!? And here you have to take into consideration that the case has been running for nearly 4 years, Chromebooks has been banned once for 3 months, and still: No plan B, no research in any of the 53 municipalities has come to the surface in order to find a better and safer solution. Half of Denmarks public schools are using a digital device as the central device for education, but nobody knows if it is #gdprcompliant. Its given to tons of children nationanwide, they use it everyday while waiting to get clarifaction. Meanwhile the international focus on the core issues of the problem: protecting childrens right to privacy is neglected in a country which pays tribute to itself for being one of the best and most modern digital society in the world. #gdpr #childrensrights #privacymatters #compliancematters #chromebooks #education #edtech https://lnkd.in/g87QJjm2

I was really impressed after watching a documentary that highlighted a school's proactive efforts to educate children about #DataPrivacy and #consent. This is specially important today, with #SocialMedia platforms consuming so much of children's time. Teaching #children about fundamental #OnlineSafety and #privacy is crucial. Giving them the key knowledge to protect themselves and make smart choices. From the consent to keeping personal info safe and adjusting privacy settings; to empower them to navigate the digital world confidently. Let's explore some basics, 🛑 Before You Say "Yes" Online - Think First: Encourage children to pause and reflect before agreeing to anything online. - Ask for Help: To understand the value of seeking guidance from a trusted adult when navigating unfamiliar online territories. 🛑 Keep Things Private - Keep it Secret: To be careful upon making personal information publicly available such as name, addresses, and personal photos.. - Stay Safe Online: Raise awareness of the dangers of disclosing sensitive information to strangers on the internet. 🛑 Adjust the Privacy Settings - Empower children to explore privacy settings and understand the meaning of their digital footprint and personal data. - Encourage children to customize privacy settings to share only what aligns with their comfort and safety. 🛑 Take Your Time - Don't Rush: Teach children the importance of patience when navigating online prompts or requests. - Get Permission: Reinforce the notion of seeking permission from a responsible adult when uncertain about online activities or requests. It's inspiring to see some schools prioritize teaching /raising awareness of data privacy and consent in today's digital age. By instilling these values early, they empower students to navigate the digital world responsibly and foster a culture of privacy and informed decision-making, contributing to their holistic development. #DataPrivacyEducation #ConsentMatters #DigitalLiteracy #PrivacyMatters #TechEthics #DigitalCitizenship #FutureLeaders #EducationForTomorrow #SocialMediaAwareness #EmpoweringStudents

Sharing content of our kids on social media platforms contributes to their permanent digital footprint. Most parents post pictures and videos of their kids online, and many have developed rules around this to protect their children's privacy. While sharing images and videos of our children online is usually done with the best intentions, we have little control over what happens to that data and where it may end up. Schools also often take photos of students to use on internal websites, in newsletters and possibly their website, hopefully consent from parents has been sought before these photos are taken. I understand why it’s nice to see pictures of our kids at school, on excursions or at sports days so that we know what they have enjoyed at school. However, we need to balance this with ensuring children's privacy and safety is protected. Two researchers from THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG, Karley Beckman and #TiffaniApps, have written an informative article on The Conversation Australia + NZ that focuses attention on the fact that education systems and schools across Australia can do more to protect student's digital data and promote children’s rights to privacy.
Is your child’s photo on their school Facebook page? What does this mean for their privacy?

It's all about what you say, how you say it...and where! That's what kids at Deerfield Elementary School are learning from UMass communications researchers. It's a critical lesson in an increasingly digital world. The students, who range in age from 11 to 12, are growing up in an environment where the Internet is a granted, but direct parental supervision less so. Young people with access to the digital landscape may be using the Internet without a full understanding of what happens to their data. Similarly, UMass Professor of Communication Erica Scharrer and doctoral students Michelle Ciccone and Cecilia Zhou aren't sure how young people might react to more information about what happens to their data online. That's why they've created a 6th-grade curriculum teaching kids about what happens to their data online. In return, the kids' responses will inform the researchers about how 11-year-old think about their digital footprint. Most recently, the researchers have arranged for their students to meet virtually with Senator Ed Markey to discuss COPPA 2.0, the proposed legislation that would strengthen online protections for children. The current version of COPPA went into effect in 1998 - long before the current 6th grade class at Deerfield Elementary was born. https://bit.ly/4av5DhR #coppa #internet #privacy #umass #umassamherst

This week a young person approached me after a class very upset about a situation on a school bus. Not the first time I have heard this from a young neuro diverse person who are often easy targets for bullying. They said they had told the bus company and the bus company said it was a school problem and the school said it was a bus company problem. This child has the right to feel safe and they don’t. That is not ok. As the bus company is responsible for the safety and well-being of passengers while they are on the bus, they should address incidents that occur during the bus trip. This includes managing and mitigating inappropriate behaviour such as unauthorised photography. Schools have a duty of care for their students, which extends to ensuring their safety during school-related activities, including transportation to and from school. Schools often have policies regarding student behaviour that should apply in this context. Both the bus company and the school have overlapping responsibilities. The bus company must ensure the safe operation of the bus and manage student behaviour on board, while the school must address any issues that affect student safety and well-being, regardless of where the incident occurs. The Privacy Act 1988 and various state laws provide a legal framework for privacy and consent. Unauthorised photography of minors can be a breach of privacy laws, and both the school and the bus company could be held accountable for failing to protect the child’s privacy. In this case, both the bus company and the school should collaborate to resolve the issue. The bus company should enforce rules against unauthorised photography, and the school should address the behaviour of the students involved. Parents or guardians may need to escalate the matter to higher authorities within both organisation’s if it remains unresolved. Steps to resolve an issue like this. 1. Parents should formally report the incident to both the bus company and the school, ensuring there is a record of the complaint. 2. Arrange a meeting with representatives from both the school and the bus company to discuss the incident and find a solution. 3. Ensure that both the school and the bus company review their policies regarding student behaviour and privacy to prevent future incidents. 4. If the issue is not resolved, parents may need to involve external authorities.

IT leaders within school districts are often hindered by extreme budget limitations, public policy, and cautiousness regarding the protection of students’ privacy. There will always be some hesitance about digital transformations, but districts are doing students and faculty a disservice if they fail to embrace the following IT use cases. https://lnkd.in/ewyXs8Rv #ITLeaders #DigitalTransformation #EducationTechnology
