Software+Requests

We'd like to inform you of a new and efficient process in order for you to communicate your software requests to the Educational Software Steering Committee. All software requests can be initiated through the link provided below, rather than by creating an ITS Work Order. We endeavour to respond in a timely manner. You can anticipate up to a few weeks for follow up, as we meet on a monthly basis.

We carefully consider all requests. In the past, Grand Erie teachers have requested innovative software often unfamiliar to others. Our mandate is to determine whether students from every classroom can benefit from these applications. This process will assist us with making these determinations. For these reasons, requesting teachers may be asked to pilot and provide feedback to the Committee.

We review all requests using the following criteria: • Curriculum Considerations: • Is it important for some and good for all students? • Is there a direct alignment with curriculum expectations? • Is there already something similar available to meet your needs?

Technical Related Considerations: • Will it run on our computers without technical conflict? • Does the size work on our computers? • Is there an associated cost?

Sincerely, The Educational Software Steering Committee
