I will make parents partners in the process, by sending home the acceptable use policy. I will make technology use contracts that parent and students will sign, that will bind them to use technology appropriately. The contract will explain both the acceptable use of technology and also what unacceptable use of technology is considered, and what the consequence are to violators. Alongside contract I will also ensure that students understand how to use the internet, and how to find quality academic websites. I will help students understand copywriter laws, and when necessary I will check the history on my student’s digital devices if I ever suspect a student is in

Communication technologies have become a huge part of children and young people’s lives. Providing many opportunities such as learning, entertainment and socialising. However, they also cause need for concern, as risks in the offline work have shown to be apparent in the online world (Byron, 2008). Hence, it is important that all who work and care for children and young people understand the risks. Then, they can help them get the most out of the opportunities to be had whilst using communication technologies. This essay will discuss an e safety policy that is currently being used in a secondary school. First by summarising the main aims and purpose of the policy, and who is responsible for implementing it. Then it will discuss a national concern

In December of 2012 a revision was passed and took effect on July 1st, 2013. The update ensures that with changes in technology children’s information remains safe. Mark Zuckerberg has even lobbied for a revision to assist students in schools, most likely in an attempt to make it easier for children to make accounts for Facebook and other social media sites (Lev-Ram 1) . Changes in technology, including broader uses of e-mail make it critical for updates to take effect. Because of the restrictions that COPPA puts forward, there are violations of

One of the policy the college may set is how they use the internet. If they break those rules they could face a severe consequence for not following the rules. The college must have a specific purpose of using the internet. For example, they can have access to the internet to access their emails or websites that will help them create a presentation to teach their students. They are not allowed to access certain inappropriate websites as it is irrelevant to their jobs and some websites may have viruses that could affect the computer system. As they work in a college, teachers have access to websites that students don’t. However, if they are caught trying to gain access to that site they may suffer severe consequences from the head of the college which may result in the staff being sacked for breaking the college rules they signed in their contract. They are allowed to use the internet for their own personal use in their free time for example lunch

Scope: This policy applies to the students from grade 2-12, members of school staff and school council at CCPSD. This policy was adopted at CCPSD school council meeting on 12/20/2016. All the school staff and students of CCPSD are required by law to protect the personal and health data the School collects and holds. This policy applies to regulate the use of personal information and make sure the information is well protected.

At High School One (a pseudonym) a rural 2A high school in Central Washington State. There are just over 1,000 students between 9th and 12th grade, with nearly 80% of the students identifying as white and just under 20% identifying as Hispanic. All students at High School One will be equipped with their own, school provided, Chromebook as part of the one-to-one implementation beginning with the 2016-17 school year. As this involves more than 1,000 students being connected to the internet for daily assignments, tests and score reporting, the ethical and legal issues of privacy are something teachers at High School One need to be aware of. In the 2016-17 school year, I will be teaching 152 students split between three sections of 10th grade World History and 11th grade U.S. History.

I agree that this policy was not written in a language that could be easily understood by the general public. I found this policy to be similar in wording to the procedural safeguards given to parents of students with disabilities at their yearly IEP meetings. The procedural safeguards is a document explain a parent’s legal rights in regards to their child’s specialized education. We do explain those safeguards to the parents to ensure they fully know their rights. I wonder if there is someone available to explain the policy and complaint process to the parent when they speak to an administrator about their concerns. However, it is good that it explicitly outlines the process to file a concern.

What would you do if you went to your child's school and saw that they were looking at inappropriate material on the internet? Would you react the same way if they were in a public library? Who decides what is okay for your children to view? Who decides where they can view it? What can you do about them being able to view these things? Are there any laws that can prevent this from happening? What are some schools and libraries doing to help prevent children form looking at such material? These are all issues that will be discussed in the next few paragraphs, along with my opinions on the matter.

Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). (n.d.). Retrieved January 17, 2012, from American Library Association: http://www.ala.org/ala.aboutala/offices/oif/iftoolkit/ALA

Congress made an attempt to place content-based restrictions on school and public library internet use in the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000. This act requires the use of some type of internet filtering software for all public libraries that attain funds from the Federal government (in the form of E-rate discounts or Library Services and Technology Act grants). Should a library refuse to comply with CIPA guidelines, that library would have to maintain its technological services without the government discount or LSTA grants. Holding to the CIPA guidelines, both the E-rate and LSTA stipulate that filters may be disabled or ‘legitimate’ sites unblocked by adults who request it, but it is unclear “whether libraries ‘must’ provide for such disabling” (Anten 79).

Teachers need to incorporate the use of firewalls, filtering software and AUP’s into the classroom to practice ethical use of technology in the classroom. Firewalls will protect the classroom and home computers from unwanted viruses. The firewall detects when a virus is being introduced to the network and will take measures to keep the virus from infecting a computer. Filtering software is important because it will not allow students to view unwanted material or websites (Shelly, G, Gunter, G, and Gunter, R 2012). Teachers

When it comes to following school policies every teacher should be aware of what is in the student handbook. This tool is used to shed light on the different policies that the district holds parents, students and teachers accountable to. I am going to be honest and say before this essay I had not looked at the Round Lake Area School District 116 School Handbook. The reason why I have not looked at the handbook is the fact that almost all handbooks spell out the same policies. In this essay I will discuss the different policies and how I think my school district could improve on their policies.
