Episode 73: Identity Management in Education

While at ISTE’s conference in New Orleans, I had the pleasure of meeting Diana McGhee, Jaime Donally, and Marialice Curran. They were there to educate school leaders about the types of threats schools face. Diana is a former technology director from Covington, Ky., who shed light on school districts’ responsibilities for protecting sensitive data. She explained to me that the amount of data shared between platforms is much larger than most people expect or realize. Jaime is known internationally for teaching teachers how to incorporate augmented and virtual reality into educational activities. She is an author, keynote speaker, and advocate for responsible identity management in education. As the founder of Digital Citizenship Institute, Maryalice offers a different take on cybersecurity. She explains how teaching students to be safe and responsible users of technology must be a component of today's education.

In this episode, I speak with these experts about identity management, blockchain in education, and how the latter can support a school's ability to increase access to secure technology, provide opportunities for learning, and promote security in education.
