      Regarding Relevance, I would probably add a check to decide if the app is grade-appropriate and that it will support student growth toward mastery of curricular standards, lesson objectives, etc.

MBCurl.me - A link shortening service from My Big Campus - 0 views

    • Kenneth Griswold
       
      Have you ever tried to send someone a link or post it in a presentation, but the url is so long, it is impossible to type in correctly?  You may have tried URL shorteners such as tinyurl or bit.ly, only to discover that these services are BLOCKED on our network.  This is necessary because this allows students to bypass our filter by using the shortening service to access inappropriate content.  HOWEVER, this service, provided by Lightspeed Systems, our internet filter solution, allows you to shorten urls only for sites that are not blocked by the lightspeed filter, so these links WILL be unblocked on our network.  Enjoy!
