The Importance of Teaching Cybersecurity to a 5-Year-Old

Cybersecurity - As K–12 schools handle greater network demands and a higher volume of users, administrators should address related vulnerabilities. IT leaders can take a twofold approach to help K–12 students meet the new security challenges of remote learning. They can proactively support students and parents in their efforts to stay safe in the remote learning environment, teaching the importance of cybersecurity. They can also shore up internal systems, processes and infrastructure to back up that learning. Whatever they do, the reality of schools operating almost entirely online has only heightened concerns about cybersecurity — and with good reason. Read more

Teachers Turned to Social Media as a Remote Learning Tool During the Pandemic, but Privacy Experts Warn the Trend Could Open ‘Pandora’s Box’ of Problems

Education Technology and Privacy - When the pandemic forced schools to shift to online learning with little warning, teachers got creative. Some utilized Facebook’s live video feature to connect with students. Others shared lessons on TikTok, the video-sharing platform popular among young people that President Donald Trump has sought to ban, citing national security concerns.

But the trend makes student privacy expert Amelia Vance cringe. Read more

Universities Need Strategic Investment in Learning Design

International Business and Education - Digital learning has leapt from an often secondary concern to a core strategic issue for higher education institutions over the past six months. COVID-19 has been the catalyst for the potential digital transformation of higher education, sparking an intense period of reorganisation that will surely be followed by necessary innovation and investment.

Is Career And Technical Education Good News Or Bad?

Business Education - In the last two decades of education reform, a great deal of emphasis has been put on sending high school graduates to college. We've repeatedly used college enrollment and completion as a measure of K-12 success. While the modern reform movement paid lip service to "college and career," policies have always suggested that college is the superior part of that team. Now it is finally occurring to some folks that A) college is not necessarily the best choice for all students and B) the world needs people who do what Mike Rowe always called the jobs "that make civilized life possible for the rest of us." Done well, new studies show, it can boost both academics and wages for students. Read more

Editors note: The Financial Times has provided some leading experts to discuss challenges and opportunities in the post COVID world. We encourage NBEA members to view these webinars.
