In today’s digital world, young people navigate technology from the moment they can tap a screen, and yet the systems designed to protect their data are still evolving. This webinar takes a deep dive into the unique privacy challenges facing kids, teens, parents, and educators as technology becomes woven into learning, communication, and self-expression. 

We’ll explore: 

• The rising push for age verification and what it means for both privacy and First Amendment rights.  

• The data practices of K–12 educational technology tools, and how well current protections actually work in classrooms. 

• Major policy proposals, including the Children’s Online Safety Act (COSA), and what these legislative shifts could mean for families, schools, and platforms. 

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the risks, rights, and responsibilities shaping the digital lives of young people, and what’s needed to create a safer, more privacy-respecting future for all students.
