Beyond the Login: Screen Time Insights, Time-Saving Automation, Data Privacy, and Technology ROI
Audience: Iowa K–12 technology directors, CTOs, technology coordinators, network administrators, instructional technology leaders, curriculum leaders, and district administrators
Conference Session DescriptionAs digital resources multiply, K–12 technology teams are expected to provide immediate access, maintain accurate accounts and rosters, protect student data, support teachers, and demonstrate technology ROI—often without additional staff.
Iowa districts also face growing questions about screen time and whether technology is supporting meaningful instruction. Answering those questions requires more than login counts or a list of purchased applications.
Drawing from her experience as CTO of Green Bay Area Public School District, Diane Doersch will share a practical, leadership-focused approach to building a safer, more efficient, and more transparent digital learning environment. Attendees will explore how centralized access, automated identity and roster management, student-data protections, and actionable usage analytics can reduce administrative work and improve district decision-making.
ClassLink will be discussed as one example of how these connected challenges can be addressed through a unified platform. The session is designed to provide practical ideas attendees can apply in their own districts—not deliver a traditional product demonstration.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will leave able to:
- Identify manual processes and disconnected systems that consume technology-team time and create unnecessary risk.
- Use application and screen-time data to support technology purchasing, digital wellness, professional learning, and instructional decisions.
- Evaluate how centralized access, automated account management, secure rostering, and data minimization could improve their district’s digital environment.
