Terms of Use

Sketchpad LessonLink™ (SLL) Terms of Use
What All Subscribers Should Know:
• Introduction: Sketchpad LessonLink offers users of The Geometer’s Sketchpad®
access to a vast collection of mathematics activities to use with students from grades
3 through 12. To use SLL, teachers and students must first have access to Sketchpad,
as the Sketchpad software is not included with a subscription to Sketchpad
LessonLink. Both individual teachers and schools can subscribe to SLL to access and
use Sketchpad activities with students.
• Key Online Accounts: A subscriber who does not have a pre-existing Key Online
account will establish a free Key Online account during registration for SLL. This
account will be a password-protected account with a teacher’s email address as
login ID. A Key Online account enables access to SLL and to other free and
subscription services offered by Key Curriculum Press.
• Preview: Teachers can preview SLL for 30 days via their Key Online account.
Sketchpad LessonLink preview is for the express purpose of evaluating SLL for
individual use or for school adoption. It may not be used on an ongoing basis
beyond the trial in place of purchasing an individual or a school site subscription.
SLL preview subscribers will have access to a limited set of activities for a 30-day
period. Only one preview account is allowed per user. At then end of the 30-day
subscription term for the preview, all user preview data will be purged from the
system.
• Subscription Term: Access to Sketchpad LessonLink is based on an annual
subscription term, typically on a school-year–to–school-year basis.
• Renewal: At the end of each subscription term, individual subscribers and School
Subscription Leaders need to renew their subscriptions to continue access to SLL. To
enjoy uninterrupted access to Sketchpad LessonLink, renew before the end of the
subscription term. After renewal following a subscription lapse, individual
subscribers and registered teachers at subscribed schools will find their folders and
preferences intact but will have to update their ClassPasses and other folder
information.
• Data Collection: Sketchpad LessonLink collects no data from students. Sketchpad
LessonLink does collect and store data on teacher subscribers to use for system
administration and improvement and that data is saved after the expiration of a
subscription. Key and its SLL partners reserve the right to access the stored
information for the administration and improvement of SLL. Subscribers should not
use SLL to store confidential information.
• Privacy Concerns: Your My Share Settings lets you choose whether to share
information about yourself with other subscribers on the Sketchpad LessonLink
network. Sharing can facilitate collaboration. If you choose to share with other
subscribers, by default, your name, school, city, ZIP or postal code, and your
country will be shared with other subscribers. If you choose not to share, these will
not be shared. You can optionally choose to make more information available about
yourself. When logged into SLL, visit the Share Preferences section to learn more.
• Functionality: Key reserves the right to revise the functionality of the SLL
application and the SLL Terms of Use. Subscription fees are subject to change at the
end of a subscription term.
• System Requirements: Each School Subscription Leader, individual subscriber, and
preview subscriber agrees to evaluate independently the technical aspects of SLL by
accessing http://www.keypress.com/x22357.xml, which lists the general system
requirements for access. SLL is dependent on ever-changing technology that varies
from computer to computer—computer hardware, operating systems, Web
browsers, and Internet connectivity hardware and software. Key Curriculum Press
(Key) does not guarantee access from all computers or with all browsers. SLL’s
performance varies with the speed of individual computers and the speed of the
web connectivity. Key makes no warranties as to SLL’s performance or its
compatibility with the computer hardware, networking software, or connectivity
software. Key makes reasonable efforts to maintain and enhance SLL. School
Subscription Leaders and individual subscribers agree to accept and use the
technology “as is.”
• Liability Release: Subscribed schools, individual subscribers, and preview
subscribers agree to release Key from liability for technical, operational, and other
problems that arise in the course of using SLL.
• Copyrights: The activities and their associated data are copyrighted material
protected under international copyright conventions and federal law. Key gives
subscribers and participating students permission to print Overviews, Student
Worksheets, Activity Notes, and Sketch Tip Sheets from the subscribed SLL
libraries, to view Sketch Tip Videos, and to download Sketchpad sketches to
personal and school computers, but only for their personal and professional use.
Except for the specific permissions granted under these Terms of Use, Key does not
grant permission to distribute text, videos, or sketches to others either in electronic
or printed form in violation of copyright law.
• Activity Comments: Key Curriculum Press will review and respond to the activity
comments posted in SLL by subscribers in order to help clarify issues and make
suggestions for activity use. Key will revise SLL activities from time to time, making
some comments inapplicable. Key reserves the right to delete comments that Key’s
editors feel are inappropriate, confusing to other SLL users, or obsolete based on
changes made to activities.
• Feedback: Key is interested in suggestions and feedback regarding the SLL
application and the activities in SLL libraries, but cannot promise to make specific
changes to solve individual or school problems. Users should bring problems that
arise in the course of using SLL to Key’s attention via the Feedback link at the top of
the SLL page or through either the Customer Support Request form
(http://keyonline.keypress.com/public/inquiry) or the Technical Support Request
form (http://keyonline.keypress.com/public/tech_problem).
• Cancellations: If an individual subscriber or subscribed school is not satisfied with
the subscription for any reason, the individual subscriber or School Subscription
Leader may cancel access to SLL within 30 days of the subscription term start date
and will receive a refund for the unused months of the subscription.
• Verification: An individual or school’s subscription and adherence to the Terms of
Use may be subject to further verification by Key. Such verification may occur prior
to the issuance of a subscription number by Key, or subsequently during the course
of the subscription term.
• Revocation: Failure to comply with these Sketchpad LessonLink Terms of Use may
result in Key canceling an SLL subscription or revoking SLL access for a school, its
teachers, and its students.
What School Subscription Leaders Should Know:
• Overview: In order to use Sketchpad LessonLink via a school site subscription, a
school must designate one site-based staff member as “School Subscription Leader”
(such as the mathematics department head, an assistant principal, the school
technology coordinator, or a lead teacher designated by a school administrator). The
School Subscription Leader subscribes to SLL access at Key Online on behalf of the
school (https://keyonline.keypress.com/sll/registration), agrees to serve as the Key
contact for subscription administration during the subscription term, and agrees to
serve as the school’s administrator for its SLL subscription.
• School Policies: It is the responsibility of the School Subscription Leader to
determine whether SLL meets the needs of a school’s teachers and students and
whether the Terms of Use are consistent with school policies. If the Terms of Use are
not consistent with school policies, a school should not subscribe to SLL.
• Number of Teachers: A school site subscription enables a school to purchase access
to SLL for varying numbers of teachers. Key’s school site subscription packages have
been configured to ensure that each school that purchases a subscription gets the
maximum number of seats for their subscription dollar. The School Subscription
Leader is responsible for determining how many subscription seats to purchase for
their school and to whom at the school site those are allocated.
• Subscription Agreements: At the time of subscribing, a School Subscription Leader
must certify:
(1) that he or she has the authority of the school administration to subscribe the
school to SLL;
(2) that the school will utilize SLL under these Terms of Use;
(3) that the school agrees to bind its teachers and school personnel to these Terms of
Use, advising school staff regarding adherence to them—perhaps at an
appropriate staff meeting; and
(4) that he or she will instruct registered teachers to give each participating student a
copy of the SLL Student Use Guidelines and/or discuss these guidelines when
they give their students a ClassPass.
• Subscription Term: The School Subscription Leader determines the start and end
dates of their school’s subscription term. In order to ensure uninterrupted access to
SLL by teachers and students during a school year, the year subscription term
should include the full school year.
• Subscription Number and Teacher Access: When a school purchases a school site
subscription to SLL they become a subscribed school and the School Subscription
Leader will receive a “subscription number” via email. (This number will also be
visible in the School Subscription Leader’s management console.). Key will only
issue a school subscription number directly to a School Subscription Leader. The
subscription number permits the School Subscription Leader to register teachers
and/or enables individual teachers to register themselves for access to SLL. The
School Subscription Leader should provide this number to teachers, preferably by
email, so that they can register for SLL.
• Subscription Number Duration: The subscription number is valid for the duration
of the subscription term. To continue access to SLL past the subscription term, the
School Subscription Leader must re-enable teacher registration by renewing the
school site subscription.
• Subscription Number Usage: The subscription number is for the exclusive use of
the School Subscription Leader and registered teachers at the subscribed school. The
School Subscription Leader and registered teachers agree:
a. not to post the subscription number on the Web or publicly in any other way
(such as in classrooms or in a school bulletin available outside the school),
b. not to distribute the school subscription number to teachers or persons not
intended to occupy seats in the subscription,
c. not to post Key Online or SLL usernames and passwords on the Web or publicly
in any other way (such as in classrooms or in a school bulletin available outside
the school),
d. not to distribute Key Online or SLL usernames and passwords to others on or off
the school site, and
e. to report repeated misuse of SLL access privileges to Key.
• School Subscription Leader Priveleges: The School Subscription Leader can view
all of the school’s registered teacher accounts and cancel teacher access to the
school’s subscription. The School Subscription Leader can also view and clear
ClassPasses to prevent student access to SLL activities if the need arises. Key is not
liable for any actions taken by the School Subscription Leader against a school’s
teacher accounts. Administering teacher accounts is the responsibility of the School
Subscription Leader.
• Student Use Guidelines: If a school has a student policy describing the appropriate
use of school technology and the consequences for misuse, Key requests that the
school’s student policy include the appropriate use of SLL and adherence to the SLL
Student Use Guidelines found on the SLL login page at www.keymath.com/sll
among the school technologies covered, if it is not automatically covered by virtue of
the school’s subscription to SLL.
• Problems and Misuse: The School Subscription Leader agrees to be the “problem
solver” for registered teachers at the school site. The School Subscription Leader
should report problems and misuse of SLL access privileges to the appropriate
school administrator. The School Subscription Leader should report problems and
misuse of SLL access privileges to Key by using the Customer Support Request form
(http://keyonline.keypress.com/public/inquiry). Key will make all reasonable
efforts to assist the School Subscription Leader with problems that may arise.
What Teachers at Subscribed Schools Should Know:
• Access: A teacher can register for SLL access only if the school has an active
subscription to SLL (except through an individual subscription). It is the
responsibility of the School Subscription Leader to determine how school site
subscription seats get distributed among teachers at a subscribed school.
• Registering as a Teacher: Teachers at subscribed schools agree to the Sketchpad
LessonLink Terms of Use and register for access to SLL at Key Online
(https://keyonline.keypress.com/sll/registration) using the subscription number
issued to the School Subscription Leader. A teacher who has completed the
registration process is a “registered teacher” in SLL.
• Privacy: Teacher names and email addresses will not be sold or shared with other
companies or organizations by Key Curriculum Press. Registered teachers in SLL
may voluntarily choose to share their names, school affiliation, email addresses, and
other professional information with other SLL users via SLL’s sharing features.
What Individual Subscribers Should Know:
• Overview: Individuals can subscribe to SLL without going through their school by
purchasing an individual subscription at Key Online
(https://keyonline.keypress.com/sll/registration) and agreeing to the Sketchpad
LessonLink Terms of Use.
• Affiliation: Individuals may choose to affiliate themselves for identification
purposes with a K–12 school or college, company, government, or other
organization—or with no school or organization.
• Privacy: Individual names and email addresses will not be sold or shared with other
companies or organizations by Key Curriculum Press. Registered teachers in SLL
may voluntarily choose to share their names, affiliations, email addresses, and other
professional information with other SLL users via SLL’s sharing features.
What Everyone Who Works with Students and ClassPasses Should Know:
• Creating ClassPasses and Student Web Pages: Within the SLL application,
registered teachers at subscribed schools and individual subscribers can create a
unique ClassPass code for each of their folders to share its Sketchpad activities with
their students. The ClassPass will also be used to generate a direct-access URL for an
SLL Student Web Page.
• Issuing ClassPasses and SLL Student Web Page URLs: An SLL subscriber may
issue a ClassPass or an SLL Student Web Page URL that gives access to SLL Student
Web Pages only to students enrolled in their classes. Students enrolled in a class
covered by a ClassPass are “participating students.” Student access gained through
this subscription is exclusively for the educational use of participating students and
for the use of those assisting them in their studies. A participating student may share
their ClassPass and access to assigned activities and materials with a teacher, parent,
guardian, mentor, tutor, or other person personally assisting them in their
mathematics studies, but only for the purposes of such assistance.
• Student Access: To access activities, participating students go to www.keymath.com
and input their ClassPass or go directly to the SLL Student Web Page via the URL
provided by their teacher.
• Student Web Page Header: The name of the class, the name of the teacher, and
other class identifying information appear in the online header of the SLL Student
Web Page each time it is displayed to students. This helps ensure that students are
logged into the right set of activities and alerts unauthorized viewers that they are
accessing a class site not intended for their use.
• ClassPass Posting and Distribution: Teachers may post ClassPass codes and SLL
Student Web Page URLs in their classrooms and on class Web sites visible to their
students, but must not make the ClassPass codes or SLL Student Web Page URLs
accessible to the general public. ClassPasses made available for public access on the
Web will be subject to cancellation by Key.
• ClassPass Dates: When an activity folder is “published” by an SLL subscriber for
student access, each ClassPass enables student access to an SLL Student Web Page
between the class dates specified by the SLL. The class dates must fall within the
subscription term. After the end of the active period, or if an activity folder is
“unpublished” by the subscriber, the ClassPass no longer allows access to SLL.
Following subscription renewal by the school, teachers must renew their accounts
and update their class dates for each folder to reactivate their ClassPasses. Since
ClassPasses must be unique across all schools using Key Online services, Key cannot
guarantee that a particular ClassPass will be available to a particular Key Online
subscriber or that a ClassPass used one year will be available to the same user the
next year.
• Class Usage: A registered teacher or subscribed individual may use SLL in class on
school computers or with a computer display device like a data projector. Key urges
teachers with projection capabilities in their classrooms to demonstrate to students
the use and the features of the SLL Student Web Pages. A registered teacher or
subscribed individual may also assign SLL as lab activities or homework by
publishing those activities to an SLL Student Web Page.
• Student Use Guidelines: Along with each ClassPass, registered teachers and
subscribed individuals agree to distribute or discuss the SLL Student Use Guidelines
(enumerated below). The Student Use Guidelines can be downloaded in PDF format
as part of the complete Terms of Use during the registration process. They are also
enumerated for students at www.keymath.com/sll. Teachers agree to distribute the
Student Use Guidelines with ClassPasses and to use reasonable efforts with their
students to enforce them.
• Misuse: If the Student Use Guidelines have been seriously compromised by a
student or students, a subscribed individual, registered teacher, or School
Subscription Leader should clear the ClassPass for the compromised class. They can
then assign a new ClassPass for that class. Teachers should report repeated misuse
of the SLL access privileges to their School Subscription Leader and/or seek
assistance from Key via the Feedback link at the top of the SLL page.
• Revocation: Key reserves the right to revoke an individual ClassPass and/or access
to SLL given under the terms of an individual or school subscription if these Terms
of Use are not respected by the school, its individual teachers, or its students.
Sketchpad LessonLink Student Use Guidelines
Your school has elected to obtain a site license to The Geometer’s Sketchpad® Dynamic
Geometry® software, also called Sketchpad™ software, and subscribe to Sketchpad
LessonLink™ (SLL), a collection of activities that use Sketchpad software. This license
and subscription is offered by Key Curriculum Press (Key).
Welcome to SLL! Your teacher will point you to specific activities relevant to your
course. To access SLL, you will need an Internet connection and a Web browser. You
can access SLL by entering the ClassPass issued to you by your teacher at
www.keymath.com, Key’s SLL site for students and parents, or using the SLL Student
Web Page URL provided by your teacher. You can access SLL from school, from home,
or from another location.
Your ClassPass will work only when your teacher enables it to work. With it, you have
access to Sketchpad LessonLink activities that your teacher has chosen to complement
your coursework.
Key Curriculum Press cannot promise that access will always work perfectly, or that it
will work on all computers. If your ClassPass does not work, check that your computer
has the system requirements needed for access. You can find those system requirements
at www.keypress.com/sll/requirements. Discuss any access problems with your
teacher.
Your ClassPass and the access that it gives you is exclusively for use by you and the
other students enrolled in your class—and by teachers, parents, guardians, mentors,
tutors, or others who are assisting you and your classmates with your mathematics
studies. While you may not share your ClassPass with students not in your class, you
may share your ClassPass with a person who is personally helping you learn
mathematics and who, for that reason, may need to look at the SLL Student Web Pages
created by your teacher.
Specifically, under the SLL Terms of Use agreed to by your school,
1. You are permitted to share your ClassPass with other students in your own class (for
students with multiple classes, this would be students in the same mathematics class
and period only), and also with a person helping you learn mathematics and who
might need to look at your SLL Student Web Pages for that purpose.
2. You are not permitted to give your ClassPass to other students who are not enrolled
in your class (unless the student is personally assisting you in your study of
mathematics).
3. You are permitted by Key to print SLL materials to which your teacher has granted
you access for your own use in completing SLL activities.
4. Beyond the permission granted above, you are not permitted to copy the SLL
Sketchpad sketches, Student Worksheets, Sketch Tip Sheets, Sketch Tip Videos from
the Web to your personal computer, and you are not permitted to email or otherwise
distribute SLL materials in electronic or printed form to others in violation of
copyright law.
I have read and agree to the Terms of Use.
