Can I disable student access to Mote?

We're sometimes asked whether it's possible to disable Mote for students, or to disable certain elements of the product experience.

The first question we'd ask is...why? Your students deserve to be heard!

If this is because your education department or IT department is expressing concern, please feel free to point them to our Privacy Center to learn about why Mote is safe for students and teachers. 

Or point them to some of the great resources on our YouTube channel, highlighting ways that Mote can be used by students. 

If you're not yet persuaded, then I guess we'll have to directly address the question. Your IT department can choose whether to allow students to use the Mote extension, and can even block access to our website if they wish, but that would disable every aspect of the experience. We do not support any other way to disable student access.
