Chrome Tools vs EdTech Tools
EdTech Tools for teaching and learning (also known as Third Party Apps) are not the same as Chrome Tools (Apps, Addons and Extensions)
If you are requesting that students use an online platform where they need to create an account, then we need to ensure student data is being shared safely. This often looks like an option for students to "Sign up with Google".
The FOIP office has reviewed a number of the most popular EdTech Tools (Third Party Apps) and provided a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) summary for teachers as well as a tool-specific Parent Notification document. If a tool is not considered "Software of the Division", FOIP procedures must be in place for students to use these tools.
Check if students have FOIP consent to use online applications from the report in SchoolZone
Post a link to the Parent Notification for each tool you are using on SchoolZone before students create and account.
Have a back-up plan for students who do not have FOIP consent
