We have a number of updates to share about technology tools here in Barrington 220.
Personal Privacy Reminder
First, we wanted to share a reminder that even if an app is approved AND we have a SOPPA agreement, staff and students should NOT be sharing any personal information. For example, students should NOT put their personal information like their address with their first and last name into a book about them on Canva. Similarly, staff should not copy and paste text with student first and last names and home addresses into Google Gemini.
Recently Approved Apps
- McEduHub from Marshall Cavendish, an app for MCE for K–5 students and all staff on iPadOS.
- 3D Brain from Coldspring Harbor, an app with in-depth, interactive visuals of the human brain for 9–12 students and all staff on iPadOS.
- Google Drive from Google, an app for easy organization and file transfer for all staff for macOS.
- Notability from Ginger Labs, Inc, an app for note-taking for all staff for macOS.
We have also approved a number of apps for specific users who need special software to run soundboards, access photos from a yearbook photo company, update STEM robots, and more.
If you're looking to request an app, Google API, or service, you can complete this form: Barrington Request for Apps, Google APIs, and Services.
Other Updates
- Apple Clips is no longer being supported by Apple. That app may stop operating in the near future.
- Everyone Can Create is still a thing! There are many great ideas and resources you can find in the Apple Learning Center.
