It only requires staying up to date with the e-learning landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of children&#8217;s online safety protection came up in the &#8217;90s when internet access started to develop quickly. It has been 24 years since the CIPA Act was approved. In the 21st century, communication technology is advancing at the speed of light. Although the CIPA rules were updated once in 2011, the modern school reality is still a few steps ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, the requirements also apply to libraries, as they provide Internet access to local communities in the early stages of Internet development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a couple of significant changes in the school&#8217;s online landscape:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd39 School Clouds<\/h3>\n<p>The pandemic pushed schools to migrate their resources to the cloud. Remote learning requires instant and easy access to educational materials and student files for anyone, anywhere. While schools have learned over time how to use new e-learning software like Google Classroom, they haven\u2019t always been aware of good cloud security practices.<\/p>\n<p>CIPA regulations don\u2019t directly mention<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/blogpost\/insider-cloud-security-threats-watch-out-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> cloud environments<\/a>, but they should be considered as another online area to be audited for CIPA compliance.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd39 Electronic Revolution in the Classroom<\/h3>\n<p>Over the last thirty years, the IT infrastructure in some schools has moved from a single computer accessible on request to individual Chromebooks for each student. Some schools have adopted a BYOD policy, allowing students to use Google Classroom on their private devices during class. Cellphones in the classroom are another obvious challenge in modern schools.<\/p>\n<p>What does it mean for CIPA compliance? Let\u2019s clarify: the act only applies to devices and networks provided by the school. There is no need to monitor students&#8217; and teachers&#8217; personal devices.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd39 Internet Connection<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/pubs2002\/internet\/3.asp\">In 2001<\/a>, 89% of US schools had internet access in instructional rooms. Most of them used broadband connections, which were faster than traditional dial-up. The speed changed across the years: in 2001, DOCSIS 1.0\/1.1, a common network standard, supported a maximum speed of 40 MB\/s. In 2024, the minimum good internet speed is 200+ MB\/s.<\/p>\n<p>Methods of connecting to the Internet have also come a long way since 2001. Current students likely don\u2019t even know how an internet router works. Your network solutions must be CIPA-compliant whenever a school device enables internet access (including hotspots).<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd39 Students, the Online Generation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Called \u201cGeneration Z,\u201d today\u2019s teenagers were born into a world constantly connected online. They can\u2019t imagine living without the Internet and cell phones. They are digital natives, often with more knowledge of the Internet and more online skills than their parents and teachers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students know how to search for any content online and frequently know how to bypass security measures. What they sometimes need to improve is awareness of cyber risks and their possible consequences. In the CIPA compliance process, schools need to provide robust safety solutions and digital education for students that address contemporary online challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>GAT Shield, your Solution for Flexible Web Filtering and CIPA Compliance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GAT Shield has been designed to support school admins with detailed and customizable online content filtering and real-time online monitoring.
