Request an app or service for school
If you would like to use an app or online service for schoolwork, ask your teacher first. Your teacher can help decide whether it fits the class activity and support a request to Technology.
Teacher permission is the first step. Technology must still review the request before the app or service can be made available.
Talk to your teacher
Tell your teacher:
- What you want to use: The app or service name and a website link, if available.
- Why you need it: The assignment, class activity, or schoolwork it would help with.
- Who needs it: Just you, a group, or the whole class.
- Whether it costs money: Include any price you know, or say that the cost is unknown.
Your teacher can submit a Staff Technology Request with these details.
If you submit a request yourself
Ask your teacher for permission before submitting. Include the details above, the teacher’s name, and the class or assignment the request supports. Technology will contact your teacher to confirm the request.
To submit your request:
- On your iPad, tap the home screen shortcut for submitting a technology request. You can also go to www.eccrsd.us and navigate to Parents & Students → Student Technology Support, then select Submit a Student Technology Request.
- Complete the form. In the description, explain what you are requesting and include the name of the teacher who permitted the request.
- Submit the form.
What happens next?
Technology will research the app or service, confirm that it is appropriate for the students who would use it, and review any purchasing or licensing needs. If information is missing, Technology may ask you or your teacher for more details.
Free apps and services also require review. Submitting a request or receiving your teacher’s permission does not guarantee approval or immediate availability. Review time depends on the app or service and any approvals, purchasing, or licensing needed.
