Abstract
Because many educational institutions are becoming more digital-focused, there is a huge risk of violations of personal data and privacy. Many school administrators, teachers, and students are even unaware of the need and obligation to protect personal data and privacy. The growing digitalization of education necessitates the development of privacy and personal data protection awareness, knowledge, and competencies among educational administration, instructors, students, parents, and others involved in the educational process. As a relatively new academic discipline, digital pedagogy must provide strategies that will enable quality technology-mediated education while ensuring complete privacy and personal data protection. GDPR may aid digital pedagogy in developing strategies to ensure data protection in all educational operations. Considering that GDPR is the most widely used document on privacy and personal data protection, this chapter provides a brief description of it and then discusses how digital pedagogy can integrate it into educational processes, beginning with school administration and continuing with strategies for instructors, students, and parents.
