About this tag
The school technology tag covers practical and policy questions surrounding devices, data, and emerging tools in education. Recent discussions examine a Brazilian regulator’s order to halt child facial-recognition attendance across public schools, including the collection and handling of biometric data by vendors. Other coverage follows St. Mary’s County Public Schools as it introduces a closed enterprise version of Microsoft Copilot for administrators and plans phased access for teachers and students. The tag also explores whether school-issued Chromebooks, iPads, and laptops remain adequately filtered, monitored, and limited when used at home, and how managed technology affects parent visibility and control.
