Software Approved for Use
The chart below contains software that has been requested for review by WDMCS. This includes 7 types of software:
- Chromebook extensions
- Chrome extensions are found in the Chrome Web Store. Extensions primarily add functionality to the Chrome web browser. Once installed, they can be found in the upper right of the Chrome browser. Extensions must be approved before being able to be used by students.
- Google Marketplace Apps
- Marketplace Apps are found in the G Suite Marketplace. Apps primarily add functionality to individual products such as Docs, Sheets or Slides. Once installed they can be found under the Add Ons menu of whatever service is being used (ie- Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.)
- Android Apps
- Android Apps are found in the Google Play Store. Some Android apps are able to be run on Chromebooks. There are special considerations with Android Apps, and not all of them work on Chromebooks.
- Windows software available in computer labs for students
- Online services that teachers may use in the classroom
- Sign in with Google services are sites or software where students are allowed to click "Sign in with Google" to create an account.
- Additional Google Services are parts of Google, but are not covered under the same "umbrella" as the standard core services such as Google Drive and Gmail.
If you only want to view one type of software, you can filter out all the rest. So as an example, if you only want to view Chromebook Extensions that have been allowed, click the box for Type of Software or App, hover over Chrome Extension, then click Only. You will now only see the approved Chrome Extensions.
