From phishing to Zoom bombing, the risks are real, but so are the solutions. We discuss the importance of immutable backup storage, encryption, and other cybersecurity best practices to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Wrapping up, we delve into the transformative role of AI and technology in the classroom, from AI-assisted grading to immersive virtual field trips.
