links to various offers from edtech- or connectivity-related companies in the time of COVID-19

A NOTE ABOUT OFFERS: every time we sign up for, or have our students sign up for new apps (or anything else), we give corporations a green light to collect data on our students. Teach your students how to keep their personal information safe. Learn about the problems with privacy and data collection if you don’t already know.

Keep the conversation going with students and ask: "What is being collected and why? Be critical. Free is never completely free. Companies need to be able to collect our data in order to figure out how to monetize it."
