ACPE 2025 - Include IT

We will discuss a range of topics on student cyber safety such as stranger danger, staying hidden, password security, catching tricksters, digital detective work, games and gizmos, sharing secrets, and finding help. For educators, information on cybersecurity training materials for students, digital literacy and critical thinking, copyright and fair use, and data security and privacy will be shared.

"As cyber threats become more complex, school districts are feeling the pressure to be more proactive than ever to prevent breaches. But how do you defend against cyber attacks when you have thousands of internal users trying to breach your network everyday?
Springfield Public Schools staff will present on how we proactively detect, protect, respond, and recover from cybersecurity events and how each discipline plays a role in building our Cybersecurity Program."

This think tank discussion will explore effective tools and strategies for fostering an inclusive learning environment. We will examine digital resources, differentiated instruction techniques, and universal design for learning (UDL) principles, as well as practical tips for educators to adapt their teaching methods. By the end, participants will have a deeper understanding of their own digital tools and the features that support inclusive practices to enhance engagement and learning outcomes for every student.
