Digital Data

This past week, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to get in touch with the correct people at the district trying to find out how IISD stores, organizes, and protects digital data.

Out of the four people that I have tried contacting, only one has contacted me back. I have found out that IISD does a lot to store digital data. This comes as a surprise becuase we have had issues in IISD with breach of confidentiality on teacher's side with financial aspects.

The person that contacted me back dealt with how our district handles secure testing materials with our online curriculum system. Our district specifically makes sure that with our digital data that it is protected. Within our Testing Program each teacher is only able to see only thier students materials. There are sections on the program that also allow for the information of complete school, but with no specific information on any students. Each teacher and student has a specific login and ID that are required to be changed every three months.

Storing our digital data is on a remote server. Confidentiality within our district is important and everything is serviced through passwords.

I was dissapointed in the fact that I tried through multiple channels for days to get the information, but was not available for comment.
