Hey Fedi privacy folks! Can public school systems in the US share student and family data with any 3rd party they choose? Can they do so if the school hasn't shared a data privacy policy? It's my understanding of FERPA that parents have to be given a copy of that policy + opt in. Maybe I'm wrong, tho. Our school is doing some heavy pushing of ed tech with the start of the year and providing no documentation. Half expect RFID tags by Sept. #AskFedi #privacy #law #EdTech #ThisIsSomeBullshit

RE: https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/116953187312162666 There are even older articles (some were print-only!) about Waldorf schools thriving in Silicon Valley, but this post is a good sampler with several links. This is enough to show how the #edtech for thee, not for me culture of privilege continues to operate.

Okay, help: what's a good compromise for a whiteboard for one-off use in a lecture? I want to collect student ideas, group them together and talk them through interactively while showing the whiteboard on a screen. Nothing more. For a long time I would have used Flinga Whiteboard (https://flinga.fi/) but my employer stopped paying for it. They do pay for Miro but it's horrendously complicated to use, and a steep learning curve for a one-off activation exercise in class. Is there something simple, freely available (maybe - ideally - open source) that is at the Flinga end of complexity rather than Miro? #education #EdTech #whiteboard #AcademicChatter
