What
do you do when technology doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to? Give up? Ask
for help? Slow down and problem solve? That’s it, slow down and figure out a
way to make it work the way you want it to.
We
have found ourselves at a bit of a stand still with the issue of needing consent
or not needing it in order to use specific apps with our students. Why? It has
to do with protection of personal information. Important, yes!!!
So
where do we go from here? We find a simple way to get the permission we need in
order to use these apps. It involves coming up with various formats for things
like parent permission or approving use of apps, reflecting on how user
friendly these specific formats are and then revamping them to make them work
better. It’s a lot of work; work worth doing though because ultimately it’s for our students.
So
yes, slow down; it’s okay. We want to do it right!!!
