Information
Most schools know the risk exists - few have real visibility over where student data goes, who can access it, or whether their current setup would withstand scrutiny. Meanwhile, teachers need fast, flexible access to new EdTech tools, and that tension isn't going away.
Wonde, whose platform helps over 30,000 schools manage and protect the data that flows between their systems and third-party tools, hosts this practical session with guest speaker William Fleming - nearly a decade leading cybersecurity at the Victorian Department of Education, now consulting independently - to help school leaders and IT staff understand where they stand and what meaningful progress actually looks like.
You'll leave with:
- A realistic first step toward real visibility over your student data
- A framework for balancing teacher demand for new EdTech with your data responsibilities
- What the Department's cyber security expectations mean in practice - and where schools are still largely on their own
- What "good" looks like in 12 months, and the changes that make the biggest practical difference
