Session Summary:

With the increasing use of digital technology in schools for teaching, learning, and administration, a safe, secure, and responsible digital environment is essential. A Tech Audit in Schools is a holistic examination that considers not only devices, infrastructure, and digital resources, but also the role of technology in supporting the achievement of educational objectives and the security of students, instructors, and institutional systems. In this workshop, we will examine the importance of technology audits, with an emphasis on cyber safety, data privacy, digital security, and risk management in schools. Topics will cover infrastructure preparedness, cybersecurity measures, data protection standards, access controls, ethical use of digital platforms, online safety guidelines, and compliance with privacy regulations. As schools collect more sensitive student and staff data, data security and the secure use of technology have become vital components of educational leadership. The deliberation will also offer practical frameworks to identify vulnerabilities, implement digital governance, mitigate risks and develop a culture of responsible technology use. Participants will learn how to conduct meaningful technology audits to verify that they are maximising their technology integration and developing secure, ethical, and future-proof learning ecosystems. In today's interconnected society, educational excellence, safety, security and trust are essential.
