On this episode of K12 Tech Talk, we cover a busy week in school tech: Linewize and Google outages, handling suspicious Google logins, parental pushes to tighten cell phone rules, and worries about AI being used to draft IEPs and 504 plans. We discuss reports of malware tied to Teachers Pay Teachers and discuss the question - Should schools block Teachers Pay Teachers?
Guest Joey Wender from the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition (SHLB) joins to break down the Supreme Court ruling preserving the Universal Service Fund/E‑Rate, the future of E‑Rate funding, cybersecurity pilots, school bus Wi‑Fi and what these changes mean for district planning and broadband equity.
