EMPLOYEE INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE GUIDELINES

 

 

1.     Employees must follow district Internet procedures at all times.

2.     An Internet log must be maintained in each location where student access to the Internet is allowed.

3.     Teachers must forbid access to students whose abuse has resulted in revocation of Internet privileges.

4.     Teachers must prepare the students properly for Internet use following all security precautions.

5.     Teachers should neither make Internet assignments to students who do not have Internet use clearance nor penalize those students for not being able to do Internet assignments.  Other assignments should be provided for students who can not get permission to use the Internet.

6.     Teacher-directed Internet use is allowed with group assignments with students who do not have Internet clearance as long the students are not using the Internet themselves.  This does not mean that teachers can allow students to work in groups as the teachers monitor.  The entire activity would have to be operated by a teacher or a licensed student.

7.     If an employee accidentally gets students into an improper place on the Internet, the employee should immediately inform the principal.

8.     Employees must keep themselves current on any changes in Internet policy as disseminated by the district or school.

9.     Employees must observe all applicable copyright regulations.

10.                        Personal use of the Internet or e-mail should not interfere with instruction or class preparation time or conflict with the mission of the school and district.  Employees have very limited privacy rights.
