Digital record-keeping has replaced traditional paper files, classroom assignmentsand assessments are often delivered online via laptops or tablets, teachers use social media platforms,","cbCaicilUISTB9LW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicilUISTB9LW","pdf",9225201,28,"English","# Why This Report is Needed\n## Federal background and FERPA’s purpose\n## Technology-driven data collection risks\n## inBloom controversy and fallout\n## State legislative response and remaining gaps","[{\"question\":\"What prompted the report’s focus on student privacy?\",\"answer\":\"The report links student privacy concerns to the dramatic shift from paper records to digital record-keeping, online platforms, and outsourced services that generate large amounts of sensitive data.\"},{\"question\":\"How does FERPA relate to student record confidentiality?\",\"answer\":\"FERPA was enacted to protect the confidentiality of information in students’ records, originally accessed mainly by school employees for professional duties.\"},{\"question\":\"What role did inBloom play in the student privacy debate?\",\"answer\":\"inBloom was proposed as a cloud-based data warehouse that would make student data available to for-profit vendors without parental knowledge or consent, leading to backlash and broader concerns.\"}]","THE STATE STUDENT PRIVACY REPORT CARD - January 2019 | PDF",1792055253,71]
