Student Data Privacy
In the use of instructional technology, Alpine School District is committed to protecting student data. Teachers in Alpine School District employ a variety of teaching methods and tools in the classroom. Once a teacher determines what students are expected to learn, he/she then designs teaching strategies, learning activities and assessments that best fit the material being taught. In the 21st century, electronic devices and software are often, but not always, used as a tool to facilitate the student experience. When used appropriately, technology helps engage students in active learning and creation and accelerates assessment and feedback. The collection, use, and sharing of student data has both benefits and risks. Parents and students should learn about these benefits and risks and make choices regarding student data accordingly.
