As a future educator, prioritizing data privacy and obtaining consent are fundamental
responsibilities that ensures the protection, respect, and well-being of students within educational
settings.

• In this activity, watch the TEDTalk, Data Privacy and Consent" by Fred Cate and answer the
following questions below:

1.How does Dr. Fred Cate's discussion on the evolving landscape of data privacy and consent
challenge our current practices as educators, particularly in terms of collecting and using
student data?

Dr. Fred Cate's discussion on the evolving landscape of data privacy and consent challenge
our current practices as educators in our way in collecting our student’s data and even using it. It
has been mentioned that all of us should know when, how and to what extent information about
them is communicated to others. As we are now in the digital age, where are information can be
easily access by anyone especially if it’s in public, we should be aware on a lot of things like how
will it affect you in the future. Generally, the challenge here aside from collecting the data of your
student is first the consent. As we all know consent is important before doing anything. Just like
the example he had mentioned, even in our phones, it needs our consent and verify if we really
agree on their terms, so as an educator it is hard to collect data of your student without their consent
as well as to use it in any way. Students now have the freedom and are aware of a lot of things so
they can decide if they want to give this information or data to you or not. This challenge highlights
the importance of respecting students' privacy and autonomy in an increasingly data-driven world.

2.In what ways can educators empower students to become more informed and active
participants in decisions regarding the use of their personal data, aligning with Dr. Cate's
call for meaningful consent?

Educators can empower students firstly by teaching them. Educators can integrate lessons
on digital citizenship and data literacy into the curriculum. By letting the students see the real
world and providing opportunities for them to learn about the importance of consent, understand
how their data is being used, when it is being used, into what extent does their data is being used
and advocate for their privacy rights, educators can help foster a generation of informed and active
participants in the digital world. With this, educators will be able to align it with Dr. Cate's call for
meaningful consent — giving students the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about
their personal data.

3. Reflect on Dr. Cate's assertion that we live in a world where data is constantly being
inferred about us. How does this reality influence our responsibilities as educators when it
comes to protecting student privacy and promoting digital citizenship?

Reality or what we have now, where we in, who we are with are always included or have
influenced our responsibilities in life, even on protecting student privacy and promoting digital
citizenship. Dr. Cate's assertion underscores the pervasive nature of data inference in today's

society, highlighting the importance of vigilance in protecting student privacy. As educators, we
must not only ensure that student data is securely stored and used ethically but also teach students
how to navigate digital environments responsibly. This includes educating them about the potential
consequences of sharing personal information online and promoting critical thinking skills to
evaluate the implications of data inference on their privacy rights. By instilling a sense of digital
citizenship, educators can help students navigate the complication of the digital world while
promoting respect for privacy and informed consent.
