Ensure that students log into the app using their board-assigned Google (gapps) account and enter the class code provided by the educator.

This method allows the app to collect student profile information associated with their Google account. Educators should instruct students NOT to share the class code with anyone outside the class.

Although the app permits students to combine text, images, audio and video to create interactive stories, the app default setting does not permit them to publish their stories online. Please DO NOT enable this feature. Students may include personal information in their text, images, audio and/or visual content which should not be shared outside of the classroom.

In the event that should occur, educators should ensure student content does not contain any personal information and that students do not violate terms and conditions, e.g., intellectual property breach (trademark or copyright), appropriate use requirements related to defamation, harassment, offensive or harmful communication/images.
