I learned that you have to really do your research on apps for kids, even if they seem educational. I learned more about Metadata, which explains how things we look up in a search engine ends up in our news feed as Ads. When deciding to utilize an app with/for your students you must ask; is this site safe, secure, and restricted? I was familiar with FERPA, however through this training I was also informed about COPPA and PPRA. I also learned that its best to work with vetted district approved apps. Common Sense also provides an evaluation to help you decide if an unapproved apps are safe for your students.
