SUMMARY:From Digital Fear to Digital Trust: Reframing the Screen Time Debate Workshop Spring 2027
DESCRIPTION:K–12 districts are being forced into a false-choice conversation about “screen time” that lumps passive social media consumption together with purposeful\, research-informed educational technology. School leaders deserve a more nuanced\, and far more honest\, conversation. \nThis collaborative\, facilitated workshop series brings together forward-thinking district leaders from across the country to help communities move from digital fear to digital trust. Together\, participants will explore how to communicate the difference between distraction and meaningful learning\, streamline district technology practices\, and build stronger community understanding around the role of purposeful technology in modern education. \nAttendees will leave with practical strategies\, peer-tested ideas\, and an advocacy toolkit designed to help educate families and school boards. Most importantly\, participants will develop a proactive storytelling framework that reframes classroom technology around purposeful learning\, student opportunity\, local decision-making\, and student well-being\, because powerful learning is defined by intentional design\, not screen presence. \nThis workshop meets online on Tuesdays from 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET on the following dates:\nJanuary 26th\, 2027\nFebruary 2nd\, 2027\nFebruary 9th\, 2027 \nSessions are recorded if you are unable to make an individual session. \nYou are eligible for 5 CEA hours for CETL® recertification and district professional learning needs by completing 3 hours of live sessions and 2 hours of independent offline work. If a school emergency arises and you miss a session\, you are expected to watch the recording and notify the instructor. Certificates will be issued once the instructor verifies final participation at the conclusion of the workshop. \nEducator: Members $149; Non-Members $249\nCorporate: Members $299; Non-Members $499\nBulk pricing for same organization registration: 2-4 10% discount\, 5-10 15% discount\, 11+ 25% discount. \nThis opportunity is eligible for CoSN Professional Learning Packages(opens in new tab).

SUMMARY:Webinar: Data Privacy – An Ohio District’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:Best of CoSN Webinar Series\nMissed CoSN2026 in Chicago or couldn’t make it to every must-see session? Now’s your chance to catch the highlights. This series features the most in-demand\, standing-room-only sessions\, selected by real attendee buzz and engagement. Join top EdTech leaders from across the country as they share the ideas\, strategies\, and insights everyone’s still talking about\, all in a convenient\, no-travel-required format. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll follow one Ohio district’s journey as they tackled the task of doing better with protecting student data – creating and implementing a data privacy plan; highlighting their challenges and successes in shifting how digital resources are handled; from initial planning and implementation and see adjustments made through months after to strengthen the process and keep the implementation successful. \nParticipants will learn actionable strategies for building this plan\, including: \n• Assembling Your Data Privacy Team: \n• Education on Laws and Policies: \n• Inventory of Resources and Data Sharing: \n• Creating a Vetting and Approval Process: \n• Executing Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) with Vendors: \n• Creating Transparency with Community Stakeholders: \nDistricts need to build a culture where data privacy is considered in district decisions because it is the right thing to do\, not just because it’s the law. This Ohio district’s real-world example demonstrates the practical impact of these principles. \nFeatured Presenters:\n\nDawn Schiavone\, CETL\nStudent Data Privacy Officer\, Northern Buckeye Education Council (OH) \n\nPete Zagray\, Ed.D.\, CETL\nDirector of Technology\, Westlake City Schools (OH)\n \n\nAmanda Musselman\, MA\nAssociate Superintendent of Instruction at Westlake City School District ((OH) \n
