As more students of all ages are participating in online or hybrid schooling, how is exposure to online risks increasing? How do educators have the right conversations with parents and students around digital safety? K–12 education is trending toward digital and that’s not just going to stop. It’s not a system parents and students can just “opt out” of, but can they influence and change the system to work better? Particularly thinking about students’ rights, privacy and safety. Are there legal and ethical obligations coming into play for teachers when students go online, which they may not even be aware of? What are they?
