Considering a New App?
Is this app already approved or denied?
The approval process must be used for apps intended for student use. Teachers may research potential apps. Please consider the following before using or suggesting a third-party application (website or app):
- Is the app’s content age appropriate?
- Does the app have a Privacy Policy posted in the app store, vendor website, or app itself?
- Are in-app purchases necessary for the intended use?
- Does the app contain advertisements?
Make sure the app you want to suggest for approval properly handles student data. Part of the approval processes will be vetting the application to ensure student data will be properly handled. This kind of information can be found in an app’s Privacy Policy or App Privacy section of the App Store. This link contains some red-flags to look out for:
