A couple of controversial apps

There are a couple of apps out there that are causing some controversy, but for two very different reasons. One is about class, and one is about cops.

Class120

The first one we’ll discuss is a class-attendance app called Class120, and it sends a message to the student and other designated people, usually a parent and administrator, when the student misses a class. It’s participation-based, meaning the student or someone authorized uploads their schedule into the app, and the phone uses its GPS in order to determine whether or not the student is in class. It won’t say where the student actually is, it will just say they are not in class.
