Join us in this episode as Josh, Mark, and special guest K12TechPro's Jason Rooks dive into two compelling stories surrounding curriculum opt-outs and the complex position schools find themselves in. They explore a recent Supreme Court case impacting parental rights in curriculum choices and how this trend affects K-12 institutions nationwide. The discussion shifts to a significant executive order from Trump focusing on integrating AI education into school curriculums. The hosts debate the potential benefits and concerns raised by the educational community regarding the implementation and funding of such initiatives. 00:00:00-Intro 00:03:21-Curriculum Opt-Outs: A Legal Battle 00:14:23-Updates on COPPA Regulations 00:21:24-Classroom Technology: Future Considerations 00:36:48-Trump’s AI Executive Order Discussion 00:59:16-Interview with Lightspeed Systems -------------------- PowerGistics Lumu - On-demand Training on K-12 Is Now Considered Critical Cybersecurity Infrastructure: How to Defend Accordingly ClassLink VIZOR Fortinet Prey -------------------- Email us at [email protected] OR [email protected] Call us at 314-329-0363 Join the K12TechPro Community Buy some swag X @k12techtalkpod Facebook Visit our LinkedIn Music by Colt Ball Disclaimer: The views and work done by Josh, Chris, and Mark are solely their own and do not reflect the opinions or positions of sponsors or any respective employers or organizations associated with the guys.
