There are four building blocks to improving reading comprehension and engagement. These building blocks assist students in ways that will not change in the future.

“I don’t think there’s a school district in America that doesn’t have important digital assets sitting on a computer somewhere that needs to be protected,” said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cybersecurity Alliance. “We know schools sometimes don’t like to report incidents. Responding right away and bringing in law enforcement should be encouraged.” https://blog.tcea.org/cybersecurity-resources-protecting-against-data-breaches-safeguarding-data/ #CTO #CIO #DataBreach #CyberSecurity #Education #EdTech

A question for #Mastodon instance admins from a skeptical educator who refuses to leave Twitter because she doesn’t understand why. So I thought I would ask on her behalf, then share the responses with her: “I really
want your opinion on this
