This section has dealt a lot with sharing information in our digital age.  We take for granted all the safety measures that have been put into place before during and after our own schooling.  As a current online teacher, I didn't even know some of the things like posting videos of students on youtube.  I have never done it, but it makes you really think about things.  What also got me right here was the Solomon act as well.

Great information!

 

I learned that in regard to online discussions, students cannot demand anonymity, and that there are other laws/agencies that can override FERPA, depending upon circumstances.

The information about third-party is interesting. 

I have that there are other Acts that may  needs be applied even though the institution comply with FERPA regulations.

I was glad to see the information on the Distance Learning because many of my institution's rules seem to come from that DOE determination. 

Excellent opportunity to learn about online classes and FERPA discussions and presentations; it's all about the privacy and permissions given.

It Is good to learn about the Solomon Act. It is amazing to me that any instructor would ever want to put student's discussion and posts on Youtube. I cannot ever imagine doing this because I would have always believed I am giving out my students private information. It is good to know that student's rights to their data are protected.

I learned that there are multiple federal laws that can supersede FERPA and if federal agencies request access to student's personal information, that their identities and need for the information should be verified before releasing the information. This should also be recorded. Also, if a teacher wants to record their lesson and post it on social media, then the teacher needs to get written permission to do that from the students.

 

excellent training.

online and virtual classes require security and protection, without written consent videos or classes cannot be posted to youtube. 

 

Useful information about other laws and regulations around inforamtion security and privacy. Some interesting information on online students and classes.

Challenges are greater with the increase in electronic communications and the pandemic quarantines, but protection of privacy is still imperative

 

Great to learn new information.

So much to think about as an educator.

New information-Solomon Amendment.

As critical as it is, it is imperative to post the following laws - HIPAA, the Solomon Amendment, the U.S. Patriot Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act and SEVIS on College bulletin board to support daily visitation of their significance by the School Community. Sometime, employees need this level of reminder in order to keep tabs with these laws and regulations.

 

I have a better understanding of whether I can provide information to non-governmental organizations.

 

The importance of FERPA and enforcing FERPA. 

It's amazing to know how many departments or entites are governed by FERPA. Didnt know how critical it was to have student housing facilities (whether the rent is paid directly by students or by the institution on their behalf) are subject to FERPA.
