62 IGNITE INNOVATION INITATIVE
Students use iPads to demonstrate learning and their interpretation of key concepts through the creation of multimedia projects.
The camera and microphone are tools to video self-reflections, engage and provide peer feedback on student assignments. Students also use finger or a stylus to naturally annotate ideas and questions on articles or images.
STUDENT DATA PRIVACY
As the use of technology saturates our families, District 62 is committed to engaging in cybersecurity procedures that are e-learning friendly. We safeguard and protect against the unauthorized use and/or disclosure of student's data.
DISTRICT 62 DATA PRIVACY AGREEMENTS
All school districts must provide information about student covered information that is collected, maintained, or disclosed by the District, to whom this information is disclosed, and the purpose of disclosure.
Families are encouraged to view the District's website for this information, as well as for additional information required to be disclosed under the Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA).
Families may request to review and correct any information maintained by the District or any online/application provider by contacting the D62 Privacy Officer, Adam Denenberg via email dennenberga@d62.org.
DATA BREACH
District 62 will post details here about data breaches involving 10% or more of the District's students, including the number of students whose covered information was involved in the breach, date of breach (or estimate) and operator name.
WHAT IS SOPPA?
What happens to the student data that we send to a third party vendor?
Information like names, birthdates, etc. may be provided by District 62 to a third party like IXL, NWEA MAP, etc.
What protections do those companies have in place to make sure that our student's data is not sold or freely given to others?
This is exactly what SOPPA looks to address. As part of SOPPA, these companies must enter into Data Privacy Agreements (DPA) with each district they work with. These agreements outline what data is stored, how it is protected, what the company can and cannot do with that data, and what they will do in the event of a data breach.
WHAT ARE DATA PRIVACY AGREEMENTS (DPA)?
District 62 employs the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC), which is an unique collaborative of schools, districts, regional, territories and state agencies, policy makers, trade organizations and marketplace providers addressing real-world, adaptable, and implementable solutions to growing data privacy concerns.
