*Obama Proposes New Protections for Student Data**
*
By Ariel Bogle

Some of the hardest-fought battles over education in recent times have
involved the use of digital technology in the classroom, whether to
personalize student learning or to track grades in real time. Silicon
Valley?s interest is piqued and ed-tech investment is booming?almost
$1.87 billion was poured into the sector by venture and equity financing
in 2014. But the field took a significant hit last year when inBloom, a
large student-data nonprofit, collapsed after facing a parent-led backlash.

Private companies in the U.S. ed-tech space allow schools to collect
data points about everything from lunch orders to disability status,
making parents fearful that such information could be accidentally
disclosed, or even follow their child into adulthood. Meanwhile, student
privacy regulation is scattershot, often outdated, and varies
considerably by state.
