Based on an online national survey of teachers, the Parent Coalition for Student Privacy and the Badass Teachers Association found that 68 percent said they had received no training in how to use education apps in ways that protected their own and their students鈥� data, and a majority felt pressured to download some apps without understanding what data they would collect.
The report recommends that schools limit social media use in school, advocate for stronger privacy protections, and evaluate the data-privacy protections of ed-tech products or services thoroughly before adopting them.
