Hello,
I'm wondering if any district will allow teachers to download Hoopla Digital on their school issued I-pads.
Here is my situation:
I have students in a book club (4th grade) who are reading below grade level and would benefit from an audiobook. The audiobook is readily available on Hoopla. I have a public library issued school library card (it contains no student information.. it is our school name, address, phone number, and my email). (These students do not have a 504, IEP thus I have been told Learning Ally is not an option.) I can access Hoopla through web browsers in district, but the audiobooks only play on the mobile application.
My district will not allow me to download Hoopla Digital to my library issued I-pad (not a student device). They are citing that Hoopla is not on the LEARN platform and are not compliant and are citing student data privacy.
Has anyone else come across this issue?
