Acceptable Use Policies
Unacceptable Use
Digital Footprints are left in concrete, not sand.
Behavior | Examples |
Off Task Usage | Gaming, emailing, or web surfing during class time. |
Inappropriate Content | Accessing information related to inappropriate topics such as obscenity, racism, hateful material, and violence. |
Cyber Bullying | Using technology for gossip, rumors, drama, threats, harassment, or bullying. |
Academic Dishonesty | Using technology to cheat and/or engage in plagiarism |
Vandalism | Destroying or otherwise purposefully damaging school property. |
How would you handle these situations??? Each group will get a behavior and have a few minutes to decide and then share with the group!
Using technology is a privilege.
To keep this privilege, you must follow the rules.
Device Management
The process of managing the implementation, operation, and maintenance of a physical and/or virtual device
Assigning Student Devices
Recommended Options for Classroom Carts:
Damage Control
Always have students inspect their devices prior to starting any activity.

Make your students aware of these behaviors and encourage them to treat the devices gently.
