Please check in with your colleagues, instructional coach, and media specialist before looking to bring in a new service or software tool. It's quite possible we've already licensed or evaluated one that fits your needs!
If that's not the case, please check this Doc (also available via the CSD Staff Forms and Referents shared drive) for steps to request a software/service evaluation. The evaluation process focuses on privacy and system compatibility and does not render judgment on pedagogical appropriateness.
