Smart speakers such Echo Dot, Google Home, Alexa, Cortans and Siri were developed for personal home use. Some teachers are interested in bringing them into the classroom, which creates a new set of privacy issues that should be planned for and discussed. This AIME News article written by a copyright attorney provides one perspective and a host of questions. Thanks to Susan Schrader, Heartland AEA Director of Resources and Library Services, for providing this information to district and AEA staff.

The Heartland AEA Leadership Series for this school year has come to an end and we hope that it has been informational and useful for the work that’s going on in your districts. How are you continuing your leadership learning? Maybe you struggle to find time to sit, read and learn. However, you might have “windshield time.” Here is a list of 30+ podcasts for school administrators that may be of interest to you.
Thank you to Dan Mart, Superintendent from North Polk, who fostered this idea of ongoing learning, and our Director of Resources and Library Services Susan Schrader for curating the list!
