Learn How Your District's Technology Team Can Impact Student Safety—Online And In The Classroom

The student safety landscape in school districts has changed. Students now have devices to access their Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 district accounts and resources from anywhere. This helps to keep classes moving forward, but it also creates hidden student safety risks.

Toni McPherson, Director of Information Systems and Services at Beaumont ISD, and Shelly Battcher, District Technology Coordinator at Sibley East Public Schools share examples of the student cyber safety risks they experienced over the course of the 2020-21 school year. They also discuss how they are approaching the 2021-22 year, and how you can better work with student resource teams in your district.

This recorded discussion covers:

• How district technology impacts student cyber safety and how IT teams can help
• Where safety risks are hiding in your district's Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365 environments
• Best practices for collaborating with teachers and school counselors
