Tuesday, October 29, 2024

This online workshop will provide participants with an overview of the legal considerations regarding technology use by students and staff, both in an out of school. Participants will gain an understanding of Illinois and federal laws such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA), and Constitutional considerations. Additionally, this session will address the complex legal issues surrounding student use of technology, including cyberbullying and other inappropriate uses of technology, as well as educator use of social media in both their personal and professional lives.

Participants will:
-
Understand the relevant State and federal laws and Constitutional considerations regarding student and staff technology use both in and out of school
-
Understand when technology use outside of school can and should be addressed by the school
-
Understand the legal considerations regarding the use of AI by students and staff
