Evidence & Reflection
On November 19, 2019, I attended a WakeForward Data & Privacy PLT training session offered through DLL. Oak Grove ES LMC, Kate Caflisch, presented on how she created a Choose Your Own Adventure game to start a conversation with her staff about Data & Privacy issues and expectations. She also created a Padlet to use as a backchannel discussion board so that staff could post questions during her presentation. This was a real "ah-ha" moment for me. The concept of having a way to collect questions to follow up on later with the WCPSS Information Security department (and not to be expected to be an Information Security expert myself!) inspired me to want to present this to my staff. Kate generously offered to share all of her presentation materials with all of our PLT members.
I left the session with several excellent resources and a clearer vision of how I wanted to share this important information with my students and staff. I reached out to my amazing DLCs, Katie Heywood and Wanda Hanley, to see if they would co-present Kate's with me at an upcoming staff meeting.
π I was home sick on December 3, 2019 so I had an entire (uninterrupted!) day to start curating some of the resources that we learned about at our PLT meeting - specifically, resources from the Technology - Information Safety page (e.g., the WCPSS Cybersense video, step-by-step guides, etc.). I added them to the Data & Privacy page on our media center website that I started last year. I also have Alison Reid's, CyberSense in WCPSS, video and Katie Cafleisch's, Data & Privacy - Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, presentation housed on that page for easy reference for faculty and staff. π
π I added links to more information about the topics discussed in the CyberSense video. For example, the video touches on the importance of parents opting in when submitting personal information. I added a link to the official WCPSS opt-in wording for teachers to use when collecting personal information from parents. π
πI learned about several great curriculum resources for teaching digital citizenship at our November PLT meeting so I added links to them for our teachers' use, as well as mine. π
π I also added any additional resources that I thought might be useful to teachers and staff including the WakeForward Data Privacy Toolkit π
πFinally, I tweeted the newly updated Data & Privacy page out to our school community so that everyone would be aware of these amazing resources. π
On January 29, 2020, I attended my second of three WakeForward Data & Privacy PLT training sessions offered through WCPSS DLL. We shared with one another what we are doing at our schools and with our MTAC digital portfolios. We also had independent study time which I used to update my portfolio.
Having that time to reflect helped me to solidify the plan for our MTAC "Choose Your Own Adventure: Data & Privacy Edition" presentation at our Feb. 10th staff meeting:
The timing for this presentation is perfect since we will be getting our new staff laptops at the end of February!
I will co-present with our Technology Coordinator, Cori Odom
We will play the WCPSS CyberSense video and watch it together as a staff
I will present the CYOA game to the staff while Cori monitors the Padlet backchannel chat so that we can address any questions as they arise
For any questions that come up that we can't immediately answer, I will reach out to DLL and/or the WCPSS Information Security department for clarification
Following our presentation, I plan to post a, "Data Privacy Tip of the Week" on our staff-only website to keep the school-wide conversation about cyber security going.
Finally, I have planned my lessons for the students for the Be Internet Awesome unit which will begin in 2nd semester.
π I also found this amazing Padlet of digital citizenship resources from Shannon McClintock Miller so I added it to the Data & Privacy page of our media center website π
π At our February 10th staff meeting, I shared the, "Choose Your Own Adventure: Data & Privacy Edition" presentation with our staff. It generated some great discussion! π
π One of the questions that came up during the meeting was how substitute teachers can log into teacher laptops without teachers sharing their login info. Since there was some confusion among the staff about this, I shared the official response from Tech Services on our staff-only Google website so that they knew that subs had their own, automatically-provisioned network logins. π
π I added the procedures to the Data & Privacy Resources page on our media center website π
π Cori Odom was not able to co-present with me that day, so another member of our PLT, our wonderful AIG teacher Amy Fenton, monitored the Padlet board for backchannel questions. π
π One of the questions in the backchannel discussion was how team teachers could access their switch classes in iStation. I shared the official response from Tech Services on our staff-only Google website. π
π I added the answers to both of the backchannel Padlet questions to the Data & Privacy Resources page on our media center website π
April 17, 2020 - Because of the COVID-19 crisis, I was not able to attend our third and final Data & Privacy PLT for the year. I was, however, able to still meet my final goal of teaching Google's program, Be Internet Awesome!, to my 3-5 grade classes.
π Before we left the building, we had started the unit. The kids especially loved using PearDeck with the Google Slide presentation. As a result, they were very engaged and super-focused! π
π I was so glad that we were able to do the introductory lessons in person so that, when we did the Interland lesson remotely, it had even more meaning π
π For K-2, we read (and sang along with!) Shannon McClintock Miller's book, Staying Safe Online (Cantata Learning, 2017). π
π After listening to the book and singing the song, K-2 students brainstormed ways to stay safe online and posted their ideas on this Padlet to share with the 3-5 students π

End-of-Year Reflection
If this academic year has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected! At the beginning of the school year, none of us could have predicted that we wouldn't be in our buildings by the end of the year. It has been an absolutely unprecedented year but I think, as educators, we adapted in a remarkable way.

I was able to attend two of the three WakeForward Data & Privacy PLT training sessions in person. After we closed the building, I was able to continue that work remotely through Kendra Allen's and Susan Bock's WakeLearns course, 2020 School Library Media Coordinator Remote Learning PLT.

I have continued to curate resources on the Data & Privacy page of our Media Center website. I view this as an ever-evolving resource page. As I learn of new resources, I will add them so that our teachers and staff have the latest information.

Luckily, before we left the building, I was able to begin implementing Google's, Be Internet Awesome!, lessons with my 3-5 classes. Students were able to put into practice the skills that they learned in the remote culminating activity, playing Google's, Interland. For K-2 classes, we used Shannon McClintock Miller's book, Staying Safe Online, to learn ways to protect our privacy online. For that culminating activity, students posted online safety tips to a Padlet that would be shared with all of the students in the school. These lessons perfectly complemented and reinforced the Common Sense Media Digital Citizenship lessons that our Technology Coordinator, Cori Odom, taught during Technology Specials class.

I've learned so much about Data & Privacy through the WakeForward initiative and I feel like it has had a direct impact on our faculty and students. The Data Privacy Tip-of-the-Week, in particular, has started an important conversation among our staff about protecting our students' online privacy. I've seen a change in behavior, as a result. Good Digital citizenship is now firmly embedded in instruction and our school culture.

Objective 2 - Professional Learning
Over the course of the 2019-20 academic year, Stephanie will attend at least one of the WakeForward Professional Learning PLT training sessions offered through WCPSS DLL. She will continue to learn about the WCPSS Copyright & Fair Use resources available to her and begin curating those resources online for Davis Drive Elementary teachers and staff. She should leave the session with ideas for lesson plans for the students, as well as ideas for professional development. She will begin to implement new copyright lessons with her classes this academic year.

On February 11, 2020, I attended a WakeForward Professional Learning PLT training session offered through DLL. With Susan Bock, we reviewed our school's SIP and completed a chart to illustrate how our WakeForward initiatives align with and support it. We used our independent study to answer the following questions:
What student outcomes do you hope to improve through professional learning? Our students will have a better practical understanding of copyright and fair use expectations.
What strategies will you use to deliver professional learning for your staff? Present Kendra and Susan's, Choose Your Own Adventure: Copyright & Fair Use presentation at a staff meeting and follow up with Copyright Tips-of-the-Week on our staff-only website.
How will you involve your MTAC in your professional learning planning? I will co-present the Choose Your Own Adventure presentation with several MTAC members to start school-wide conversations about copyright and fair use.
I left the session with several excellent resources and a clearer vision of how I wanted to share this important information with my students and staff.
π On March 14, 2020, WCPSS announced that it would be closing access to all schools in response to the Coronavirus crisis. As a result, I had to shift my approach from face-to-face instruction to online instruction and curation of the digital resources that we learned about at our PLT meeting. I added them to the Copyright & Fair Use page on our media center website that I started last year for easy reference for faculty and staff. π
πI researched and curated WCPSS-approved copyright-friendly resources for students and teachers, as well as curriculum resources and quick-reference guides for copyright and fair use questions π
π Finally, I added this flow chart to help teachers think through their copyright and fair use questions. Many of the resources that I found were available through DPI's NCWiseOwl's Copyright for Stduents page. π

I attended one in-person WakeForward Professional Learning PLT training session offered through WCPSS DLL. After we closed the building, I was able to continue that work remotely through Kendra Allen's and Susan Bock's WakeLearns course, 2020 School Library Media Coordinator Remote Learning PLT. I was also able to attend several of the WCPSS Digital Learning Coaches' online Lunch & Learn courses, many of which discussed copyright-friendly resources approved by the district.

During Remote Learning, I taught a lesson using BrainPOP's Copyright unit shared through our 3-5 media Google Classrooms. Next school year, I would like to also teach an age-appropriate lesson on copyright and fair use for our K-2 students.

The only goal that I was not able to accomplish this school year was to present Kendra Allen's and Susan Bock's, Choose Your Own Adventure: Navigating Copyright and Fair Use in Schools. When we return to the building in the fall, that will be my #1 priority.
