Particularly during remote learning, many districts challenged their preconceived notions on accessibility and cybersecurity. This led to many robust changes in districts nationwide. Special guests Doug Thompson and Henry Martin discuss how schools can best implement transformational IT. With this practice, educators ensure that sensitive data protection maintains its secure status through collaborative planning and execution.
