Digital Resource Purchase Process

What software is currently District approved?

There are many web-based applications that are being used in the classroom today. It is important that these be vetted to ensure that they appropriately handle student information, comply with both State and Federal requirements for Student Data Privacy, or meet the standard or objective they are aiming to meet. In an effort to ensure the right applications are being used, the District has created a vetting process for new and existing applications. In addition to district adopted curriculum, you can see other resources that are used by reviewing the approved applications list.

But wait, there's more! We are happy to look at any digital resource that you would like to use in your classroom to vet it as well. Please please select the link below and that will start the process. If you are only looking to have web page (resource) made accessible, please fill out the Web Filter Release Form. (YouTube Video requests should be sent to your Technology Facilitator.)

Below ("How Resources Are Evaluated") is the Digital Resource evaluation tool utlized by Educational Services to determine if a digital resource can be approved for DSUSD. We recommend staff evaluate their own digital resource prior to submission for district approval.

What should you look for when looking at new digital resources/applications?
