My AUPs

The use of the internet is a privilege, not a right. Any student who violates the rules will be suspended from using the internet in the classroom.

Here are the rules:

1) Respect - All students are expected to treat each other with respect. Even if you disagree with someone, you can discuss your disagreement with respect and understanding.

2) Appropriateness - All language and discussion must be "school appropriate." No bad language. No making fun of others or name calling.

3) Stay on Topic - The discussions that we have should stick with whatever is the chosen topic. This weblog shouldn't be used for talking about your friends or relationships in class. It is ok to bring in personal experience, if it stays with the topic.

4) Privacy - We have set up an "alias" for each student (a fake name) to ensure your privacy from the outside world on the internet. However, the teacher has these fake names on record and students will also be aware of these names as well. Do not expect to post something in secret. Although we are setting up the safest site possible, the internet is an open area where people from around the world can peek into your "space."

5) Teacher Monitoring - Be further aware that the teacher and your parents have the right to monitor (read and investigate) what you write.


This is still a work in progress....
