"The challenge of running the company at this scale was very different from the challenge of running it when it was 10 times smaller, even 100 times smaller."

Check this out! 🗞️ GoGuardian is a proud member of the EDSAFE AI Alliance and contributor to a new guide recently published by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Education Technology that informs product leads and their teams of innovators how to work toward safety, security, and trust while creating AI products and services for use in education.

Our own Teddy Hartman is quoted on strategies for responsible design:

“AI isn’t a monolith. When developers think about responsible design and use of AI tools in education, it’s important to consider the range of AI applications and align their risk mitigation strategies to the relative risk of each tool. One strategy is to keep humans in the loop—for example, involving educators at optimal moments that help minimize the risks and maximize the value of these new technologies.” — Teddy Hartman, Head of Privacy and Trust, Pear Deck Learning

June is Internet Safety Month! Before you send those kiddos off for the break, equip them with a practical internet safety checklist to help them surf safely this summer. #internetsafety 

Do:
✅ Stick to basics like passwords and sharing information online. No info overloads! 
✅ Be creative and make it fun — think mini-quizzes with prizes
✅ Keep communication open so students have a safe person to talk to if they see something troublesome online. 
✅ Get parents involved with an internet safety checklist to send home with students for the summer

Don’t:
❌ Use scare tactics — the internet is a powerful tool if students know how to be safe.
❌ Stick to long lectures. Keep students engaged in the topic without overwhelming them with information. 
❌ Ignore cyberbullying. Be sure to emphasize being a respectful digital citizen — and report any cyberbullying you see. 
❌ Blame or shame students for any internet oops they've made. They don’t know what they don’t know — and now’s the time to teach them!
