Description

Do you have an acceptable use policy?

Most school districts already have an acceptable use policy that staff and students are required to follow.

The links below identify only a few of the procedures, policies and guidelines implemented around the state. See "Staff Meetings to set guidelines and standards..." and "Do You Have a Home Use Policy?" for more iBook procedures and management practices.

If you would like to share your school policies, please do so!

Do you have a home use policy?

Allowing the laptops to travel to and from school is integral to the goal of equal access to technology for all students. Being able to continue classroom work at home is only one of the many advantages of taking the laptops home and, despite the concerns of many school boards and teachers, damage to laptops traveling home with students has been close to none. Linked below are the "take home" procedures and policies for some Maine middle schools.

Staff meetings to set standards

It is important that all staff are on the "same page" when it comes to procedures and policies. While copies of handouts, forms, and policies are important to convey a message, nothing is better than a whole staff meeting to discuss and clarify procedures and concerns. Only when the entire staff has a clear view of expectations will the students be able to understand what is expected of them. Consistency and clarity are key for the successful utilization of this educational tool.
