Utah Students & Data Privacy

I have had many teachers in my district express interest in utilizing Minecraft in their classrooms.

By default, our district, and most in Utah blacklist everything unless it is part of the Utah Data Alliance and we have a Data Privacy agreement on file. 

You can see here, for Utah, all the agreements we have on file:

https://sdpc.a4l.org/search_alliance.php?state=UT

 

And here is a blank form, that includes "exhibit E", which means any district in Utah can easily adopt the same agreement once it is on file with one:

https://sdpc.a4l.org/agreements/UT_DPA_V2.pdf 

 

I would be happy to be a point of contact to help with this process. It has been hard to convince our IT folks that this is worth it, and they hesitate because we are a "Google" district, but if we had a DPA on file, teachers would at least have the choice to utilize this awesome resource.
