Description

Is the digital revolution in our schools a game-changer for learning, or a risky experiment with our kids’ privacy and well-being? M4L Academy brings together legal advocates and tech industry insiders to unpack the real story behind EdTech, Data Collection, and AI in the classroom.

What you’ll learn:

  • The Truth Behind the Tech: Discover how “one device per child” policies and classroom AI have changed education—and why the promised golden age of learning hasn’t materialized.
  • Data Privacy Drama: Learn how school-issued devices and apps collect vast amounts of data on students, often without parents’ knowledge or meaningful consent.
  • Attention and Mental Health: Hear why experts say more screen time can mean less focus, lower achievement, and rising anxiety for kids.
  • Who’s Really Benefiting? Understand how business models and incentives may put profit ahead of student welfare—and what that means for your family.
  • The Power of Parental Advocacy: Find out why parents and communities must demand transparency, stronger protections, and a real say in how technology is used in schools.

Key Takeaways:

  • Don’t assume “educational” tech is always safe or effective—ask questions and stay informed.
  • Your child’s privacy and attention are valuable—protect them by setting boundaries and advocating for responsible tech use.
  • Real learning still happens best with human connection, books, and hands-on experiences.
  • You have the right to know what data is being collected and how it’s used—push for clear policies and opt-out options.
  • Join forces with other parents, educators, and advocates to make your voice heard.
