Don't Go 'Along' with Corporate Schemes to Gather up Student Data
Boninger, Faith; Molnar, Alex
Phi Delta Kappan, v103 n7 p33-37 Apr 2022
The Along digital SEL product marketed to teachers by Gradient Learning and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) promises to help teachers establish strong relationships with their students via an exchange of personal reflections. In so doing, it collects intimate personal information from students about their lives. Faith Boninger and Alex Molnar explain how the legal documents that govern Gradient's retention and use of students' data allow Gradient to retain students' de-identified data in perpetuity and use it for unknown purposes. They explain the privacy and other threats associated with de-identified data, and warn against allowing education technology providers -- particularly Gradient and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative -- unfettered use of it.
