[aisle] GooseChase Edu app

[Kristi Pierce]

Hi Patti,

I would very much encourage you to reach out to your designated SOPPA
person in your district to work on an agreement before you use this with
students. There are probably other districts that already have DPAs that
your district could create an Exhibit on.  You really don't want to take
the chance.  Even with a GUEST account, if the student has anything
identifiable, like scores, teacher names, etc then there could be some
issues.  I know there is a "leaderboard"  feature which would probably be
considered "student data" even if the kid is using an alias.  The best rule
of thumb is to not use anything that has any kind of login without first
getting a SOPPA agreement.

Good luck!
