Hi,
We are starting to set up Canvas for our District and would like to know if there is a list of establish Extensions and Apps I should be installing on our google domain. We are a mixed environment with PC, Macs, Ipads, ChromeBooks and ChromeBox.
Questions I have, but please add if I missed something.
1.) List of Apps and Extensions.
1a.) Should I be looking at Android Applications? If so I will need to invoke this on the Domain/OU.
2a.) I will not be invoking IOS devices on the domain level or OU.
2.) Should they be installed under user(s) with:
2a.)"Force-Installed App and Extension" ?
2b.) "Allowed Apps and Extensions" Locally applied?
2c.) "Pinned Apps and Extensions"
If there is someone out there that has set up a google domain with Canvas that has best practices could you give a Tech hand? ![]()
It is my understanding that our District will be using Canvas from Elementary to Secondary.
Our most used devices are the chromebooks (around 5,000 and climbing)

And the Answer is......... wait for it..?????
We are giving the Canvas Admins area a little bit of love (especially questions that are really, really old) and just want to check in with you. This will also bring this question new attention.
Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment. Also, if this question has been answered by one of the previous replies, please feel free to mark that answer as correct.
