My biggest take away from this course is the ability to vet apps through Common Sense Privacy Evaluation tool. I found this to be really handy. This course was very thorough and helped me understand the importance of protecting students privacy.

District approved

I learned that not all "educational" apps are safe.  I will make sure as we learn remotely the district approved apps first.

I learned what you could and could not tell students online in a group forum.

It is best to stick to apps that have already been approved by the district.

While there are ways to verify privacy for various apps, as well as to get apps approved that have not been yet, it is best to either use previously approved apps, or get approval before using the app.

I definitely feel like my explanations were more verbose than what was actually given but I find that summary easier to swallow.

The class really went into how overwhelming the Terms of Service can be even for adults that should know better. I don't want to get the idea that companies are out to trick potential users but that really is the sort of world we live in.

Student privacy is very important and must be protected. I plan to make sure the apps that I used are verified by the district and protects students information.

The student privacy is very important and how to better protect student privacy while using online apps and websites.

This means using district approved apps/websites and checking the terms of service if it seems questionable.

I learned that you should check with the district before using an App to make sure that it meets the districts safety requirements

FERPA

I didn't realize that responding to other students in google classroom while other students can view the response, wasn't a violation of FERPA unless a grade has been posted. 

This was interesting and helpful. I wasn't aware of the website - Common Sense to check apps.

I learned a lot.

I learned a lot.  Many of the apps I use or have used are only apps that have been approved by the district. This gave me insight to how I should review the apps if they are not on the approved app list as well as give me a good understanding on what to look for.  This was interesting.

laws and apps evaluations

There are a lot of laws and details relating to this subject. Enjoyed learning about how to evaluate apps.

I learned that even with district approved technology, there could be personal information being collected by that app.

I knew that schools must get explicit parental consent to share students' PII and providers are only allowed to use the information for educational services. To ensure student data privacy is maintained, teachers should check with the districts IT for app approval or problems with apps.
