APS - Did they disable Chrome?

DC had all their college app portals bookmarked, as well as their NHS logging page (all school related, but require a personal email account). With notice, they could have been moved to the other profile. Another friend of DC's was in a tutoring session and it just shut down in the middle of it. It's kind of par for the course this year.


This.

This is what I'd used to go to AEM for, but I never joined AEM2 b/c I was happy to be free.


Couldn't agree more!
That said, I just heard about similar things for the first time today re Wakefield. Students could not get into their google accounts or check their gmail email. This precluded access to senior project work, college essays, corresponding with colleges during application/acceptance processes, etc. Apparently Spotify was recently blocked as well.

I am all-in on the bell-to-bell cell phone ban; but this seems silly. Surely Spotify is not a major source of harm to our teens during the school day. Are kids typing emails to each other all through class - which is exactly what my friends and I did manually on paper back in the 80s?


Doubt APS wants the Liability

The only way they can be sure to avoid all liability risk is by not providing school-issued devices.
They can whack-a-mole-away 'til kingdom come.
