So I say, as we did with Google, let's flood the suggestion box with the feature to send announcements to specific groups. The direct link to the 'suggestion box' is above.
Photo Vaults & Fake Calculators
Not sure if anyone allows students to use their phones as calculators in class, but you may want to be aware of this. There are several apps out there that double as photo vaults. Although the apps appear to be legit at quick glance, you can spot the differences if you look closer. The apps, available on iOS and Android, hide photos that they don't want others to see on their phones and removes those photos from their photo library. I AM NOT ADVISING YOU TO SEARCH A STUDENTS PHONE. Just making you aware, be cautious, and the schools have enough calculators if you need some.
