Managing SOPPA and Maintaining Innovative Practices
|
The Illinois Learning Technology Purchase Program (ILTPP) and LearnPlatform have recently signed an agreement providing ILTPP members discounted pricing on LearnPlatform's top software-as-a-service and research-based solution. This solution equips K-12 districts to organize, streamline, and analyze their education technology to ensure it is safe, equitable, and cost-effective.
As we all near the end of 2020, it's time to think about what lies ahead for 2021 and data privacy compliance. The Illinois student data privacy law known as SOPPA will be going into effect on July 1, 2021. Many districts are already beginning to prepare!
Join LearnPlatform for an interactive session to hear from edtech expert, Rob Residori on:
|
- What you need to know about SOPPA.
- How your district can prepare for July 1, 2021.
- Real-life examples of Illinois districts excelling with data privacy compliance.
- Examples of Illinois districts currently using LearnPlatform to promote data privacy compliance and communicate safety easily.
