All digital tools recommended for use in Brookline Schools are vetted for their educational value, sustainability, and data privacy policies. The vendors of the tools recommended here have all signed a legally binding Student Data Privacy Agreement. The tools listed here are among the most powerful in the industry and teachers are encouraged to use them over the multitude of AI tools now available. They offer a secure space for students and teachers. Generative AI tools are to be treated as educational resources. Their use must align with instructional goals set by the supervising educator or administrator.

Even with safeguards, teacher and students should not include personally identifiable information (names, addresses, ID numbers etc.) into prompts or documents that are shared with the tools.
