Online Digital Tools

MCPS Approved Online Digital Tools (ODT)

MCPS has created a searchable database of ODTs. You can review the MCPS approval status, MCPS usage recommendations, and privacy policy of each tool on this website: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/data-privacy-security/technology

Once an ODT is evaluated, MCPS will put into one of three categories: Approved, Use Responsibly, or Prohibited (noted below). Several tools under the Use Responsibly category have an MCPS recommendation of "affirmative parental consent." NHS Parents can provide parental consent using this form: bit.ly/nhsODTconsent

NHS ODT form submissions are being monitored by the Media Team. Please contact us if you need additional information.

If you are interested in using a tool that has not been reviewed, fill out the MCPS Online Digital Tool Vetting Form here: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/data-privacy-security/safeguards.aspx

Once you submission is received, it will show-up in the database as "Under Review."

UDL

Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines I have curated a collection of online digital tools that have been reviewed, and approved by MCPS. The UDL Guidelines ensure that we are providing multiple forms of engagement, representation, and expression.
