GSD : Academic Technology Solutions Menu

hugs The Academic Technology Menu is a resource for school leaders and teachers to let them know what software, websites, apps and other technology solutions are available and have been reviewed by district departments. It also informs school leaders and teachers about which solutions are supported and recommended and to what level. School leaders and teachers are encouraged to consult this menu whenever they are considering academic technology tools. It will help you find applications that you may not know about and it will give you information about tools that you are considering.

hugs You may browse through the menu below, or you can search it by using the link at the top of the page. When you see solutions listed in square tiles, you will only see the overarching GSD recommendation and the FERPA status. By clicking on the name of the tool, you will see more detailed information in several different areas. Each area is color coded and can be opened for even further detail into the recommendation. While each recommendation area is important, the FERPA approval is one that you should pay special attention to because of rising concerns around student data privacy.

hugs Many online tools collect student data. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) schools are not allowed to share student records except under specific exceptions. This field, listed on each solution in this menu, will tell you whether you are allowed to share student data with the vendor or whether you need to get active parent consent as required by FERPA. You can read more about this in the Student Data Privacy section.
