Review Criteria

Meets Criteria Guidance

All apps, extensions, and software must be approved prior to student use in the classroom. Websites must be approved IF they collect personal identifiable information (i.e. a student login is required for access--including those that allow Google/Microsoft sign-in). For websites that do not require approval, it is important to thoroughly review the website’s construction prior to instruction to ensure that students are not accessing content outside of the intended learning. When possible, teachers should use LanSchool or Apple Classroom to monitor student learning while on devices. To view approved digital materials OR to submit a request for approval, visit Canyons’ LearnPlatform. Digital materials will be approved on a quarterly basis. Requests are due: September 1 December 1 March 1 June 1 Notification of approval may take up to 60 days depending on how quickly vendors submit the required Data Privacy Agreement (DPA) If a digital tool requiring approval is used without approval, classroom teachers are liable for the security of student data and student safety.
