SUMMARY:The K-12 Tech Director's AI Playbook: From Policy to Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is offered on-demand. \n\nArtificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept—it’s the hottest topic in EdTech today. For K-12 technology leaders\, this rapid shift has created immense pressure and a flood of urgent questions around security\, academic integrity\, and student data privacy. Moving past ineffective AI bans is no longer an option; building a strategic framework for its use is necessary. But where do you start when the landscape changes daily? \nJoin CTL and the expert hosts of the K-12 Tech Talk podcast for a strategic\, no-nonsense webinar designed to give you a clear roadmap for managing AI in your district. We’ll cut through the noise and provide a practical playbook\, sharing real-world insights and best-practice guidance from the trenches of K-12 technology leadership. \nIn this session\, you will learn how to: \n\nBuild a Future-Proof AI Policy. Move beyond bans with actionable guidelines on everything from academic integrity to proper citation. All attendees will receive a free\, customizable Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) template updated for the age of AI.\nProtect Student Data & Ensure Compliance. The #1 fear for tech directors is student data being absorbed into public AI models. Get the essential checklist of questions to ask every AI vendor to guarantee FERPA and CIPA compliance and prevent your sensitive student information from becoming part of their training data.\nNavigate the “Walled Garden vs. Open Tool” Debate. Confidently decide between integrated platforms and powerful openly available tools to best serve your students and staff.\nAssess Your Infrastructure Readiness. Learn how to determine if your network and devices are prepared for the demands of new AI applications and how to defend against AI-powered cybersecurity threats.\nEmpower Your Educators. Discover a practical framework for comparing AI tools for instructional use and learn best practices for getting your teachers and students ready for effective and responsible implementation\, including PDt. Get your free spreadsheet for evaluating AI programs.\nUsing the AI Tools in Google Admin Console. We will demonstrate how you can use the built-in Gemini AI tools for managing your Chromebook and other ChromeOS device fleets.\n\nThis is more than a webinar—it’s your opportunity to gain the clarity and confidence needed to lead your district’s AI strategy. Leave with the tools\, advice\, and actionable steps to transform AI from a source of chaos into a powerful catalyst for learning.\n\nWho Should Attend: K-12 Technology Directors\, CIOs\, IT Managers\, and anyone responsible for technology strategy and implementation in schools.

SUMMARY:K-12 Cybersecurity on a Budget. Doing More with Less in the Age of Cuts.
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is offered on-demand. \n\n2025 has brought unprecedented challenges for school district technology teams working to protect student and staff data and ensure online safety. With phishing attacks and data breaches on the rise\, and federal cybersecurity support programs rolled back\, how can K–12 districts maintain strong digital defenses and still safeguard students? \nThis ManagedMethods on-demand webinar features a panel of K-12 tech pros\, including Tim Miles\, Director of Technology at Steamboat Springs SD\, Austin Isaacks\, Director of Information Technology at High Island ISD\, and Claire Sexton\, Cybersecurity Administrator at Kingman Unified SD. We explore the current threat landscape\, share budget-conscious strategies\, and discuss how layered defenses and smart tech adoption can strengthen cybersecurity and student safety\, even with strained resources.
