Classrooms, Not Computers has found a new title for its campaign — Stop Corporate Surveillance in Schools: A Movement Supporting People-Powered Classrooms Without Corporate Data Mined Students.
Our mission is the same—to build a community-based movement to dismantle the corporate-driven policies and practices in schools that lead to violations of student privacy, surveillance of children and teachers, and corporate profiteering (we call this Education Reform 2.0).
SCSS will be holding its second webinar on Sept 11 from 8:00-9:00 pm Eastern/5:00-6:00 pm Pacific.
This webinar is designed to:
1) provide a brief overview of what Education Reform 2.0 is,
2) how the SCSS campaign is working to eliminate corporate surveillance, and
3) how teachers, students, parents and members of communities can coordinate locally to be part of the campaign effort.
Our two-part strategy is to inform and then to develop sustainable, empowering actions centered on local community agency and control.
Listen to our first webinar, where Alison McDowell (wrenchthefears.com) explains how data mining and corporate profiteering work in schools.
