Review Comments from Region 16 Vetting :

• In the Privacy Policy it states that Educators represent and warrant they are authorized to bind the entire district to Nearpod's Privacy Policy. --- THEREFORE, Educators MUST have district approval before using this product!

• Educators represent and warrant they are authorized to designate Nearpod as a "School Official" with a "Legitimate Educational Interest". - THEREFORE, Educators MUST have district approval before using this product!

• District policy/permissions should be reviewed to ensure the educator has this authorization to consent on behalf of students. Otherwise, parent permission would need to be given prior to use.

• Students do not need to create an account to join your Nearpod lesson. For identification to the teacher, we recommend students enter a first name and last initial, or a nickname, when accessing a Nearpod presentation. This protects student personally identifiable information.

• The Nearpod account owner is the owner of any data, including student Content, submitted through the Nearpod Materials. Be sure to download any student work you collect and store those student records in your district approved platform to be FERPA compliant.
