Google Workspace for Education Changes

Beginning October 23, 2023, Google Workspace for Education will undergo changes that require all third-party apps and Chrome extensions to be reviewed and confirmed by the District before staff or students can access them. The good news is that we've already prepared for this change with the implementation of App Access Control last Spring.


We have surveyed our LITE team to identify commonly used Chrome extensions throughout the District and will pre-approve the below list prior to the change:


AdBlock

Google Docs Quick Create

Adobe Acrobat

Google Meet Grid View

Application Launcher for Drive

Google Translate

Bitmoji

Grammarly

Boomerang for Gmail

Kami

Clever

Mobility Print

DocHub

Screen Reader

Fullscreen Interactive Google Slides

Screencastify

Google Application Launcher

Tab Resize

Google Docs Offline

Zoom


If you are currently utilizing a Chrome extension not listed above, please submit a support ticket through Zendesk. When doing so, please make sure to select “Application Support” as the Request Type and specify “Chrome Extension” as the Sub-Type to ensure that your request is directed appropriately. Chrome extensions not approved prior to October 23, 2023, will be inaccessible.
