Allowing everyone in a school to create new sites may seem empowering, but it can also lead to unmanaged content and security risks. Schools should limit this feature to educators and upper-grade students who need it for instructional purposes. This approach ensures that site creation is used to support learning while maintaining administrative oversight.

While Google Drive permissions help prevent most students from publishing sites publicly, younger students should not have open access to create sites. Restricting this capability helps schools align with digital safety guidelines and prevents misuse of the tool, ensuring content remains appropriate and purposeful.

At Get Set Tech, we help schools develop policies that strike a balance between flexibility and control. By giving teachers and advanced students the tools to innovate while maintaining secure boundaries, schools can foster creativity without compromising safety or compliance.
