Your Path to Maximizing Impact and Insights while Minimizing Efforts with Standards
Tuesday, March 4 | 3:00 PM-3:45 PM CT
Panel members will share how the use of data standards (1EdTech and Ed-Fi) used in tandem in district and state ecosystems provide opportunities to gain insights regarding student success and drive rapid time to value for districts’ support of students. Panelists will share news of an active collaboration occurring now between these two communities that focuses on direct student impact and usability of EdTech tools for all adopters via use of OneRoster, with current and comprehensive data sourced by the Ed-Fi data standard and data exchange. ClassLink is a key partner bringing these capabilities to market in products for you to leverage and benefit from. Join us to learn what is happening and how you can participate, and how to coordinate with your priority vendors in this work.
Presenters:
- Sean Casey, Head of Partnerships, The Ed-Fi Alliance

Advanced Data Masking: A New Standard in Cybersecurity Practice
Wednesday, March 5 | 1:00 PM-1:45 PM CT
Schools and their vendor partners have long struggled with solutions to protect shared PII data—until now. With DataGuard, schools can replace key PII fields with random letters before sending data to vendors. Now, we're introducing Smart Masking, which allows schools to retain part of the first and last names (the first few letters) while masking the rest. Don’t let rostering protocols compromise your school’s data security! Join this session to discover how to reduce data sharing risks and safeguard your school from cyber threats.
Presenters:
- Lauren Dill, Vice President of Client Services, ClassLink

- Barbara Nesbitt, Vice President of Product, ClassLink
- Monica Watts, Senior Director of Learning Innovation, 1EdTech Consortium
