Proud to share that Traffic Lite has signed the National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) through the Student Data Privacy Consortium, making the agreement available in 16 states and further validating our commitment to data privacy and security. As should be the case with any educational technology platform, protecting student and teacher data remains at the forefront of everything we do. Traffic Lite was built to help schools bring greater clarity, consistency, and transparency to AI usage expectations. As AI continues to reshape education, schools deserve tools that support innovation without compromising trust. Learn more 👉 TrafficLiteEdu.com. Thank you to the Access 4 Learning Community and the Student Data Privacy Consortium for their work supporting privacy across K-12 education. #EdTech #AIinEducation #DataPrivacy #K12Education #EducationalTechnology #AIEthics

💡 If you have not yet brought the power and security of Gemini and NotebookLM to your education institution, both k12 and Higher education, here is how you can enable these built for education tools alongside your current legacy productivity suite. Watch the recording of the session with our Senior Solutions Engineer, Richard Johnson, as he explains how to easily transition from personal AI tools to institutionally managed and logged Gemini Education accounts. Rich clarifies the critical distinction between personal and EDU accounts, focusing on enterprise-grade security, data privacy (data is not used to train models in education accounts), and integration with Google Workspace tools. 🖐 Please reach out if you want to know more about how you can support teaching and learning at your University, School or Institute with Google for Education's no cost, enterprise data protected tools https://lnkd.in/e7RPzRps

Data drives the future of K-12 education, and the School System Data Survey (SSDS) is the gold standard for identifying challenges in edtech adoption and interoperability. This year, we’re looking to understand: 🔹 How well EdTech tools are actually integrating. 🔹 Whether privacy policies are keeping pace with innovation. 🔹 What specific resources do school networks need to thrive in 2026 and beyond? Be part of the movement shaping the future of safe, secure, and interoperable education data. 🔗 Take the SSDS survey today: https://lnkd.in/d63n8-tF #StudentData #DataPrivacy #K12Tech #Interoperability

🧠 New Zyber Episode — How Algorithms Shape What You See Online Have you ever noticed that two people can use the same app… and experience completely different versions of the internet? Different videos. Different recommendations. Different news. Different conversations. In this new Zyber episode, I break down what algorithms actually are, how they shape online experiences, and why that matters more than most people realize. 🔍 What we cover: • What an algorithm really is (in simple terms) • How platforms learn from clicks, watch time, and engagement • Why different people see completely different content online • Why emotional content spreads so quickly • The important realization that your feed is not the entire internet 💡 One of the key ideas from the video: Your feed isn’t a neutral window into reality. It’s a personalized stream shaped by systems designed to predict attention and engagement. Understanding that doesn’t mean rejecting technology. It simply means becoming more aware of the environment we’re interacting with every day. 🎥 Watch here → https://lnkd.in/gDqU7vrQ Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. Here on Zyber, we make it simple, practical, and confidence-building. #Cybersecurity #Zyber #Algorithms #DigitalAwareness #OnlineSafety #Technology #AttentionEconomy

This is a clear signal to review data-sharing practices, contracts, and communication with families around digital tools used for instruction and assessment. Building transparent, plain-language explanations of what data is collected, how it is used, and where parents do—and do not—have a choice will be essential to maintaining trust while continuing to innovate with ed tech. https://buff.ly/rhlUMCk #StudentDataPrivacy #EdTech #FamilyTrust

I built my own Google Workspace MCP server in 300 lines of code. Here's why: Most third-party MCP servers have 10,000+ lines of code, dozens of unknown dependencies, and you have zero visibility into what they do with your data — your emails, files, calendar, everything. So I built my own. From scratch. Using only official Google libraries. → 14 tools across 6 services (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides) → 4 dependencies — all from Google or Anthropic → Zero external network calls — data goes only to googleapis.com → Fully auditable in 10 minutes → MIT licensed — use it however you want Works with Kiro, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and any MCP-compatible AI agent. Security shouldn't be optional. Own your data. ⭐ GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gacXnbD9 #MCP #GoogleWorkspace #AIAgent #ClaudeCode #Kiro #Cursor #Windsurf #OpenSource #DeveloperTools #CyberSecurity #Python #ModelContextProtocol

Organisations are curious about AI but have real concerns: cost, infrastructure and data security. As Lauren, our head of solutions marketing, explains: Moodle's approach is human-centred and transparent, giving institutions flexibility and control.

I've been encouraging people to check their public libraries for LinkedIn Learning access for years, but that's not the only game in town. While it's available through fewer library systems, some public libraries also provide access to O'Reilly's library services. If you work in technology, data, AI, programming, cybersecurity, cloud computing, or business analytics, it's one of the best learning resources available. Take a look and see whether your library system offers access. And if you know of another library that provides O'Reilly, let me know and I'll add it to the list! • District of Columbia Public Library (Washington, DC) — https://lnkd.in/eA4Cv3AV • San Francisco Public Library (CA) — https://lnkd.in/eY5Aqec8 • Santa Clara County Library District (CA) — https://lnkd.in/evHHzRDp • Oakland Public Library (CA) — https://lnkd.in/egNivhw8 • Sunnyvale Public Library (CA) — https://lnkd.in/e-zbXh4w • Madison Public Library (WI) — https://lnkd.in/eFWVqxVY • Mid-Continent Public Library (MO) — https://lnkd.in/eGphcFRF • Mount Prospect Public Library (IL) — https://lnkd.in/evqhA2ij • Florham Park Public Library (NJ) — https://lnkd.in/egJBWeVB And don't stop with your public library. Check with your employer, university, professional association, or training provider too. You may already have access to O'Reilly and not even realize it.
