The debate about whether technology is good or bad in the classroom is always in the air. As the digital world continues to grow, so does our access to more technology. We need to understand the implications this can have on students.
Taking a broad approach to the topic, we hope you can leave with a better understanding of why to incorporate tech in the classroom or not at all.
A National Center for Education Statistics survey found that nearly all schools, or 98%, incorporate computers into their classrooms. Approximately 57% of students utilize digital learning tools daily, dedicating at least half their classroom time to working with devices.
The primary concern must always be Student Data Privacy. It is essential to understand what data the applications you use can access and how they handle that data. Websites such as the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) offer valuable information about the privacy policies associated with the applications used in your district. AristotleK12 provides a streamlined approach to managing these applications, reducing the administrative burden and ensuring compliance with district-wide acceptable use policies.
