New Report from the Student Privacy Initiative: A Snapshot of K-12 Cloud-Based Ed Tech & Student Privacy in Early 2014


As part of its ongoing Student Privacy Initiative, led by Executive Director Urs Gasser, the Berkman Center is excited to offer a new publication, Framing the Law & Policy Picture: A Snapshot of K-12 Cloud-Based Ed Tech & Student Privacy in Early 2014. This analysis, intended to guide policy and decision-makers at the school district, local, state, and federal government levels, first captures the current state of play and then puts forward pragmatic recommendations that aim to protect student privacy while harnessing the generative potential of cloud-based ed tech.

... The Student Privacy Initiative team looks forward to continuing to develop additional materials in the months to come, with an eye not only to conducting legal analysis and producing practical resources on existing laws, policies, and practices, but also to considering privacy and ed tech opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead and creating shared good practices that both bolster privacy and preserve space for innovation as the educational sector continues to evolve.
