Natasha Singer is a technology reporter at The New York Times where she explores the intersection of data and society, with a particular focus on education, health, and behavioral advertising. She also writes a monthly column, called Technophoria, for the Sunday Business section. She will develop a taxonomy of educational data, identifying the types of information that schools and ed tech companies collect about prekindergarten through twelfth-grade students; the primary and secondary uses of that data; how those details are analyzed and disseminated; and the outcomes of those analyses.
