Certain items and criteria need to be met before agreeing to deploy an app out to student iPads. The 1:1 Coordinator works with Instructional Technology Specialists, Department Heads, and teachers in vetting the following items.
Advertisements
Content of advertisements cannot be controlled and therefore poses a risk of inappropriate or suggestive content. Advertisements are not allowed.
User Passwords/Accounts
Logistics with student accounts can vary and needs to be considered if an app requires students to have accounts.
Usage Exploration
Has time been spent exploring the app?
Age Requirements
Some sites have age restrictions mentioned in the AUP of the app and/or service.
Cost of App
Based on funding abilities.
Ability to share
Can final items be shared easily? (Camera Roll, Google Drive, Google Classroom)
