Choose Privacy Week: educate your students about privacy

In the last two years state legislatures across the country have been introducing and passing student data privacy laws that restrict the use of students' data by online third-party service vendors and also require security of that data. The iKeepSafe website also includes a resource-rich section for educators with links to help school librarians and classroom teachers understand privacy-related federal laws (such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), the critical nature of keeping student data confidential and secure, and resources on digital citizenship.
