Approved Apps & Websites for Students
Approved Apps & Websites for Students
Technology advances are making it much easier for students to create and share their learning with peers and teachers.
One important aspect to consider is that students’ data is collected by educators and companies that provide apps and online services as well. That includes some personal information, which educators use in order to know their students and to tailor their teaching to their different needs and abilities. It is critical for educators to protect that personal information.
As a public schools district, we legally must comply by COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act), and PPRA (Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment). Additionally, we must follow the Privacy Policies of each individual website.
The websites/apps below are not necessarily purchased by Waltham but we have reviewed the websites Privacy Policy and Terms of Use to ensure use of the tool complies with COPPA, CIPA, PPRA and the website's privacy policy.
