In this episode of the CoSN Podcast, we’re joined by Amy McLaughlin, CoSN’s cybersecurity project director, and Tom Ashley, CTO and Director of Technology at Huntington County Community School Corporation in Indiana.
Amy talks about cybersecurity concerns during this COVID-19 pandemic. With the increased need for effective remote learning capabilities in these unconventional times, this topic is worthy of much investigation.
