Summer+09+Week+11

This week we will delve into the world of student and teacher use of technology. There are more and more stories of students bullying one another on sites like [|MySpace], with the ripple impact of those events spilling over the school walls (even though most districts block this site). Another issue garnering more and more attention technology leaders are dealing with is the use of personal computing devices (Cell phones, ipods, and other mp3 players) as distractions or learning tools. One safe way to be proactive in matters such as these is to have students and teachers sign an acceptable use policy (AUP) or code of ethics each year.

This week, I would just like you to find the acceptable use policy or code of ethics in regards to computer use for the district or organization you work for. If you cannot find one for the place at which you work, you may find one from another district in your area.

Please use the table below to post your AUP.

Use the discussion thread "21st Century Learning Tools" to reflect on the following questions: 1. Do you see cell phones as a distraction or learning tool? 2. Does your AUP limit the use of 21st Century Learning tools or provide a forum for their utilization?
