A recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/report\/2022\/05\/25\/how-dare-they-peep-my-private-life\/childrens-rights-violations-governments\">Human Rights Watch (HRW) report<\/a>\u00a0has exposed children\u2019s rights violations by providers of edtech endorsed by governments in Australia and overseas.<\/p>\n<p>The lockdowns have ended but edtech remains embedded in education. Children will have to navigate issues of data privacy in their learning and other activities.<\/p>\n<p>So what can Australian governments and schools do to protect students? Both can take steps to ensure children\u2019s digital rights are enabled and protected.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What problems did the report expose?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>HRW reviewed 164 edtech products, including ten of the many apps and websites used in Australian schools. According to its report, New South Wales and Victorian education departments endorsed the use of six of these, including Zoom, Minecraft Education and Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n<p>The review found that, to varying degrees, these apps and websites harvested children\u2019s personal, location or learning data to monitor, track or profile students. These practices ultimately violated children\u2019s digital rights to privacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We think our kids are safe in school online.
