Heartland Audio   May 21, 2013  Are schools collecting too much
personal information about kids? The world has become an
intensive data-tracking place, with grocery stores tracking your
eating habits and Google tracking your internet history and
search terms. Schools are no exception. Bluegrass Institute
education analyst Richard Innes, an old hand at the inner
workings of student data collection, joins the podcast to
discuss how even "anonymous" information on a child is no longer
anonymous to any researcher with a decent database. He also
outlines how the federal government is moving towards creating a
comprehensive cradle-through-career database on each child, and
what this means for privacy, government, and education.
