We got an email from a parent today: "Anna took her Wordly Wise quiz today and discovered something that she thought you should be made aware of.
She uses Apple OSX, as many students do. The OSX software allows you to click on any word and it gives you the definition.
This function also works on brainhoney and on tests. She sometimes taps her fingers when thinking. There were two questions
on this quiz where she tapped her fingers on her mouse pad and it brought up the definition to words on the quiz."
Help? That is a great feature, but we do not want students to have word definitions while take vocab or other tests. Has anyone else had this issue or found a way to not allow it?
Thanks!

Pam, I have been looking into this. There is currently not a way for us to disable operating system features within a web page.
Does your school have any processes in place to prevent a student from opening a new tab to search for words? What would be different between using this app to find definitions instead of searching through Google?
Thanks.
