We have deployed 758 iPads so far.
In response to demand from teachers to have the ability to quickly evaluate apps for their schools, we have made a new Google Form that allows for individual submissions.
The form is located at http://goo.gl/IfNGZ
At this time we are requiring three (3) teachers submit an approval form on an app before we will proceed with purchase and/or installation of the app.
This type of process is required so that we can help maintain consistency in the district as we push forward with more and more iPads deployed to schools.
To help eliminate some of the confusion and chaos surrounding apps for the iPads, we are setting up an app vetting procedure.
At the district level, we have a 20-member App Vetting Committee that will look at a paid app a week and fill out a Google Docs form consisting of various criteria.
At the school level (and this is in the beginning stages of planning so we may change this) we would like small groups of teachers to use the app vetting form to submit apps to us. This way, when someone tells us they want an app on all of the iPads to be deployed we can be assured that it has been thoroughly evaluated first.
We know this is an imperfect solution, but it is a step towards making this a more orderly procedure and we welcome comments and suggestions.
