Google Docs privacy

[teacherguy]

One of the apps I've been piloting successfully in my classes pulls preferences and reads previously submitted scores stored in a few google spreadsheets. For my own purposes I've simply hard coded my personal urls, but as I think about making this app available to educators in the app store it brings up the issue of how to connect to their info without the students also having access to viewing the documents.

Does anyone have ideas for how to accomplish this? The idea is that students who are in a 1:1 program with iPads (this means every student has their own iPad in class) can connect the app to those docs to get the specific preferences and scoring leaders without also having the ability to view the docs outside of the app (not likely, but I would rather eliminate the possibility).

I think you need to make some kind of backend (PHP, ASP, Livecode Server, etc.), with a login, register and user management. And then on login you give the user the right URL (student/teacher).
