Data Privacy in Education - an iKeepSafe Educator Training Course
Growing concerns about student data privacy can create hurdles for K12 educators working to expand access to edtech and digital innovations. EduPaths and iKeepSafe partnered to create four courses centered around data privacy in education.

These FREE online courses include all lessons, videos, quizzes, and supplemental resources needed to gain a full understanding of data privacy in education. All courses are housed on EduPaths, a Canvas-based platform.
