We contacted the Director of Integrated Technology Systems for Plymouth-Canton, Mark Salzer, and he stated, “While the district does reference both monitoring and monitoring software in the Chromebook User Agreement, LanSchool is not mentioned by name.” Salzer also noted, “There is no expectation of privacy for any use of the Device. Our concern as students is that Lanschool could be considered spyware or a violation of students’ privacy. Horvath, seventh grade ELA teacher, said, “I don’t know how to use Lanschool. Kozler class, she uses it ask a question about the lesson.” Parker claims, “It’s good for the teachers to see what students are doing on their Chromebooks, if they’re doing something their not supposed to be.” Parker Foley, a 7th grader at West, said: “It’s good for the teachers, but I know some kids don’t like it but I don’t have a problem with it…i n Mrs. Lanschool will create a question that pops up and you must answer it to make it go away. Lanschool can force students to read stuff or answer questions prompted by the teacher. Lanschool is as computer software that allows teachers and administrators to watch students’ screens. Lanschool was introduced during the 2017-2018 school year. You try to close it, but it just pops back up. Lanschool, you may only know it as a strange thing on your Chromebook.
