SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence and EdTech: Essentials for 21st Century Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:A full recording of this webinar is available on FOSI’s YouTube channel. View it here. \nOn September 7th\, the Family Online Safety Institute hosted a webinar on Emotional Intelligence and EdTech: Essentials for 21st Century Classrooms. In 2022\, the back to school season looks different from any other year\, as educators incorporate the best aspects of technological developments from the past two pandemic years into predominantly in-person classrooms. This panel of experts was moderated by Laura Tierney of The Social Institute\, and featured Jimmeka Anderson of the National Association for Media Literacy Education; Richard Culatta of the International Society for Technology in Education; and Amy Koester of the Association of Library Service to Children. \nPanelists explored the concept of empowered learning through curiosity\, creativity\, and communication\, as well as innovative ways that educators can foster digital learning environments. Specifically\, the speakers discussed how technology is often presented to children as a list of “don’ts\,” even though it is more nuanced than a binary good-or-bad tool for learning. The panelists acknowledged that learning to be a digital citizen is a complex skill and\, like anything\, takes practice.  \nThe panel discussed tips on making learning more fun and engaging by meeting students at their level and borrowing from their creative experiences with technology to inform lesson planning. Additional tips included: building communities and opportunities for collaboration\, and modeling good digital habits as adults through inclusion\, communication\, and consistency. \nThe panelists acknowledged that educators are tasked with many responsibilities and this community seeks efficient ways to incorporate technology into classrooms after the global pandemic led to a vast increase in reliance on devices for learning. They noted that educators can use the knowledge they already have about tech as a starting point to expand their understanding of digital and media literacy. The panelists believe that now is the time to set guidelines for students about how to use technology appropriately\, while also making the most of  the digital tools that were introduced during the pandemic. Finally\, the panelists shared that we can achieve success in building emotional intelligence among students through collaboration\, conversations\, and by establishing genuine\, open relationships with young people.

SUMMARY:FOSI Briefs the Hill: Congressional Action on Online Safety and Privacy Bills
DESCRIPTION:A full recording of this webinar is available on FOSI’s YouTube channel. View it here. \nOn September 21st\, the Family Online Safety Institute hosted a FOSI Briefs the Hill webinar on Congressional Action on Online Safety and Privacy Bills. Congress recently advanced two online privacy bills and one online safety bill out of their relevant committees – COPPA 2.0\, the ADPPA\, and KOSA. This webinar provided an overview of each bill as well as a robust discussion about the strengths\, challenges\, potential implications\, and unintended consequences of each from a variety of expert voices. The panel featured Adam Kovacevich of the Chamber of Progress\, Lauren Merk of the Future of Privacy Forum\, Jamie Susskind from the Office of Senator Marsha Blackburn\, and was moderated by Andrew Zack of FOSI. \nPanelists explored the three bills and their goals: updating existing privacy protections for kids; creating new comprehensive data privacy protections for all Americans; and establishing a new online safety standard. Specifically\, they discussed increasing online protections for teens while also giving young people more control and agency\, prioritizing safety and privacy by design\, installing a duty of care for platforms to protect young users\, and the role that age assurance has in online safety and privacy. Each panelist felt encouraged by specific aspects of the proposed legislation\, but noted areas where more clarification or improvement could be made. \nThe panel also discussed the laws of states and other countries\, and how Congress can learn from the online safety work in these other jurisdictions. Some panelists praised the design of the UK’s risk-based Age Appropriate Design Code and others acknowledged that this code served as a model when drafting their own legislation. The speakers also considered potential downfalls of a state-by-state\, country-by-country patchwork of laws and regulations for a space as borderless as the Internet. \nThe panelists acknowledged the difficulties of passing such significant laws through a divided Congress\, yet remained optimistic about the future. They also noted the recent work of the White House\, FTC\, and state Attorneys General in online safety policy. Finally\, panelists reminded us that the online privacy and safety policy space is active\, exciting\, and more important than ever before. \n
