This project explores technology adoption practices and interactions and the digital data literacy of education technology adoption decision makers in California K-12 public school districts. Data profiles constructed from the comingling of data from many sources (school, home, mobile technology) can follow the individual through his or her lifetime. Although there is an increasing understanding in education about digital literacy, there is a general lack of understanding about digital data literacy, or the ease and potential of comingling of data exchanged online, despite its purpose or use. Current regulations such as the Familly Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) may provide inadequate protections for future inference or predictive uses. The goal of this project is to explore the extent to which school technology decision-makers consider youth privacy and the long-term use and dissemination of children's digital information.Using a sample of California school districts, this project investigates educational technology procurement strategies and processes. Research methods include in-depth interviews and a preliminary survey to examine the digital data literacy of educational technology decision makers in K-12, and whether, how, issues of youth and family privacy are addressed by education technology adoption decision makers. The project will also involve a formal review of privacy literature involving several relevant disciplines and investigations of the marketing processes involved in educational technology procurement. Understanding the complexity and impact of educational technology adoption is essential. This project advances the discussion of privacy across commercial, public policy, and education interests. Students will be involved in all phases of the research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目探讨了技术采用实践和互动以及加利福尼亚K-12公立学区的教育技术采用决策者的数字数据素养。来自许多来源（学校，家庭，移动技术）的数据构建的数据概况可以跟随个人的一生。尽管人们对数字素养的教育有着越来越多的了解，但人们普遍缺乏了解数字数据素养，或者尽管有目的或使用，但在网上交换的数据的轻松和潜力。当前的法规，例如《 Familly教育权利法》（FERPA）和《儿童在线隐私保护法》（COPPA），可能会为未来推断或预测用途提供不足的保护。该项目的目的是探索学校技术决策者考虑青年隐私以及对儿童数字信息的长期使用和传播的程度。使用加利福尼亚学区的样本，该项目研究了教育技术采购策略和流程。研究方法包括深入的访谈和初步调查，以检查K-12中教育技术决策者的数字数据素养，以及教育技术采用决策者是否解决了青年和家庭隐私问题。该项目还将涉及对隐私文献的正式审查，涉及几个相关学科以及对涉及教育技术采购的营销过程的调查。了解采用教育技术的复杂性和影响至关重要。该项目推进了跨商业，公共政策和教育利益的隐私讨论。学生将参与研究的各个阶段。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评论标准来评估值得支持。
