We shine a light on our partners, the work we've done across the country, and insights from our team members.
Things We Learned at SC EdTech 2024
Every fall, SC EdTech hosts South Carolina's largest educational technology conference. The primary goal of the conference is to bring educators, administrators, technology professionals, college faculty and staff, public and academic librarians, business and industry trainers, industry representatives, and policy makers together to think, discuss, listen, and learn the best strategies to plan for and use educational technology in our schools. We had the amazing opportunity to send Education Analytics’ staff to SC EdTech to connect with school districts, ed tech leaders, and current and potential partner organizations in South Carolina. In this blog, we share what EA staff learned from their time at SC EdTech 2024.

Every fall, the Ed-Fi Alliance hosts its annual Ed-Fi Summit to bring together state and local education leaders, EdTech providers, educators, and technical experts who utilize data to solve education’s most pressing issues. Several of Education Analytics’ staff attended Ed-Fi Summit 2024 to connect, present, and learn. In this blog, we share some of their insights.
Making Privacy Paramount: The Steps Behind EA’s Security Certification Success
As a non-profit, data are something we protect, not something we own. Since Education Analytics’ inception, we have been committed to using the most up-to-date and advanced technology and industry practices to ensure the continued security of the data entrusted to us by our partners, including school districts and states. To put our philosophies around data security and privacy into practice, we have pursued three certifications as an organization that highlight our commitment towards leading the K-12 education industry when it comes to data security and privacy. In this blog, we highlight those three certifications – SOC2, TX-RAMP, and IS0 27001.
