The Instructional Resources Department is committed to ensuring that all instructional materials and supplemental tools are aligned with curricular goals and safe for student/teacher use. The process that is undertaken to review digital tools, such as apps and web tools, involves a multi-tiered collaborative review system that evaluates each resource based on the following factors:

• Data Privacy
• Security
• Internet Safety
• Curricular Alignment
• Technical Specifications

The Instructional Resources – Digital Tools Toolkit has a variety of apps, web-based tools, and specialty software* to integrate technology in the classroom as a supplemental resource. If you are searching for a digital tool for use in the classroom, please log in to Instructional Resources – Digital Tools Toolkit on SharePoint to search the database. This database contains the list of all supplemental digital tools and new items available to integrate technology in the classroom.

If you are considering requesting a new digital resource, please check the Instructional Resources – Digital Tools Toolkit listing first to ensure the resource you seek has not been previously submitted.
