Hi - Today at 4pm, we're hosting a free webinar on the impacts of digital surveillance and datafication on childhood, presented by Jacksonville State University's Wendy Stephens: In the quest for smarter, faster, stronger learners, everyone from anxious parents to corporatized school systems seems to be exploring technologically-enabled instruction and data-based decision-making. But with facial recognition and behavioral analytics reaching critical levels, are we creating unalterable data representations of young people to their – and our own – detriment? This webinar will explore emerging data-related phenomena such as social cooling <https://www.socialcooling.com/>, steganographic approaches <https://publications.computer.org/computer-magazine/2018/11/15/how-steganography-works/>, and politicization of presence <https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/0198294158.001.0001/acprof-9780198294153>, and identify key considerations for those who help young people negotiate privacy concerns face-to-face and online.
