 * Teachers evaluate applications either by purchasing one copy for a teacher device or based on reviews from sites.
 * Teachers locate the application on the __volume license store __ to see if the app developer has made the app available for the volume license program.
 * The number of licenses must be within the teacher's budget for purchase. If the teacher wants to buy an app, she must confirm that she has a voucher available for that amount.
 * The "Program Facilitator" can be either the teacher or the Instructional Technology Coordinator - but that individual redeems the voucher and provides the codes for downloading the applications and syncing them to the devices.
