META...Continuing on a Path of Success
by Brian Norwood, META President
Greetings SAM Members,
I am honored to serve as META’s President and excited for our future as an organization.
META has grown over the past few years to become Montana’s primary source for educational technologiststo share knowledge for the common good of all students, staff, and local communities. Our membersencompass a deep understanding of educational technology and what it takes to be successful in thisdiverse environment.
We have numerous success stories to celebrate including the SBAC Testing Project, Cyber SecurityCommittee on the Montana Information Security Project, ERATE Consulting and outreach partnership withNCCE, ADA Website Compliance project, our continuing support of Educational Technology throughAdvocacy, and our partnership with CoSN and a new Montana State Chapter.
In addition to our successful projects, we also have added the META Empowered Superintendent of the Yearaward with our META Technologist of the Year award. These awards show our commitment to promotingeducational technology by celebrating the success of our peers. In the months to come our METAEmpowered Superintendent of the Year will be Montana’s nominee to the National CoSN EmpoweredSuperintendent’s award. We wish Mr. Jim Howard, Bonner School District Superintendent and META’s 2018Empowered Superintendent award recipient the best of luck and thank you for representing our Montanavalues at the national level.
Our future holds many challenges like the cyber-attacks we have seen this past year and continued budgetconstraints we all face in today’s economy. I am confident in our commitment and spirit that drives us all tobe part of the solution to overcome these challenges and strive to be better stewards of this preciouscommodity we help to shape and in turn shapes our future, the students. I am excited and believe we willcontinue to grow and encourage all our members to share our vision and values in support of our mission.

Student Data Privacy, TrustedLearning Environment (TLE) Seal
The Consortium for School Networking(CoSN) and its state affiliate chapter,Montana Educational TechnologistsAssociation (META), are honored to supportthe work of current and aspiringsuperintendents and district leadership teamsin leading all aspects of digital learningtransformations. This month we focuson student data privacy.
As school leaders continue to grow in theirknowledge and expertise in using data todrive instruction and other multiple facets ofschool operations, the issue of leading andmanaging student data privacy cansometimes seem confusing and evenoverwhelming. CoSN is pleased to share fivecritical guidelines for ensuring data privacy inyour district's or school's use of technology. CoSN's overview of student data privacyprocedures can be accessed byclicking HERE.
To assist school leaders in assuring allstakeholders that their district has built asystem and culture of trust and transparencywith regard to student data, CoSN developeda comprehensive process for school districtsto earn the Trusted Learning Environment(TLE) Seal. Montana school technologyleaders have proven to be trailblazers in thiswork across the state through the formationof the SAM Leaders Professional LearningProgram Trusted Learning EnvironmentCollegial Learning Network (SAM LPLP TLECLN). The TLE CLN, which is the first suchcohort in the United States, allows districts towork together to update and strengthen theirdata privacy practices. Last spring, BozemanPublic Schools became one of 16 schooldistricts in the country to earn the TLE Seal. Through the work of the SAM LPLP TLE CLN,seven other Montana school districts are onthe path to earning TLE Seals. Learn moreabout how and why the TLE Seal can supportyour data privacy work by clicking HERE.
CoSN has partnered with edWeb to provide amonthly webinar series on topics essential forleading digital transformations. Schoolsuperintendents serve as panelists on eachwebinar and share their stories andexpertise. Each webinar is recorded for laterviewing by those who are not able to join the
