Technology plays an important role in education, but teachers don't always have the time to learn how to use it. When I returned to teaching four years ago, one of my first initiatives was to bring technology into the classroom where it belongs. Technology is second nature to today’s students, and since they are immersed in it every day outside of the classroom, it is only natural to use those skills inside the classroom too.

School districts across the country are increasingly incorporating technology into the instructional model. Technology, after all, is second nature to today’s students., But one size does not fit all, and finding the right solution out of myriad choices can confound even the most digitally dexterous districts.

In our increasingly connected world, technological advancements have continued to cement connected devices as essential resources for K-12 learning. As the volume of these purchases continue to grow, educators have been faced with a greater need for cyber security. In an effort to safeguard families from infringements related to big data and privacy in public services, President Obama announced a modification to his 2012 comprehensive blueprint for consumer privacy, the BuySecure initiative, to include privacy protections for American students & families.
