Publishing an approved apps list is increasingly becoming a requirement through state legislation (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightspeedsystems.com\/en_uk\/blog\/navigating-ohio-sb-29-with-lightspeed-systems-ensuring-compliance-and-protecting-student-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio\u2019s SB29<\/a>, NY Ed Law 2-D, and more) and meeting stakeholder expectations for transparency. This is the perfect time of year to ensure your apps are vetted and that your district\u2019s public-facing list is in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-app-approvals-and-public-list-making-simplified\">App Approvals and Public List-Making, Simplified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightspeedsystems.com\/en_uk\/products\/lightspeed-digital-insight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lightspeed Insight<\/a> makes app approvals and public list management a breeze with tools and workflows to centralize vetting and collaboration, and promote transparency, empowering schools to start the new calendar year on the right foot. Let\u2019s dive into the key features you can take advantage of now to ensure a seamless school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-apps-in-use-amp-save-time-vetting-them\">See Apps in Use &amp; Save Time Vetting Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you can determine which apps to approve or mark as not approved, you need complete visibility into which apps are in use. Gain <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pyiBHOk_UaU?si=ydj_NfGBJ8wGDb43\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insights into app usage across the district<\/a> with the App Activity report. This report doesn\u2019t require SSO logins to track usage; it pulls data from every device (on all OS and device types), and automatically aggregates app usage analytics into a report \u2013 no manual app curation required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pro Tip: <\/strong>If you have our tool and want to check for rogue apps in use that haven\u2019t been reviewed, quickly filter your App Activity report by apps without approval status to identify potentially risky apps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it\u2019s time to vet apps for compliance and security! Integrations with 1EdTech\u2019s TrustEd Apps Program and the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) simplify the vetting process for IT, saving leaders 1-2 hours per app reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lightspeed Insight\u2019s 1EdTech TrustEd Apps Program integration<\/strong> rates application privacy policies on a rubric, showing their compliance with laws like GDPR, FERPA, and COPPA as well as in other areas, such as data collection and security. These ratings give districts quick insight into what an application is doing with your student data without requiring an understanding of or excavation into complicated legal documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Our SDPC integration<\/strong> shows how many districts in your state have data privacy agreements within the Consortium \u2013 this makes it easier to identify whether apps are compliant with state data privacy regulations, as apps with more agreements on file are less likely to be risky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-streamline-collaboration-with-the-app-approval-workflow\"><strong>Streamline Collaboration with the App Approval Workflow<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s time to centralize your app approval process.
