AUP+Discussion

This page was created to be a collaboration space for NH educators to throw around ideas, resources, and discussions regarding school Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs). It will, most likely, be an evolving space as we identify and categorize the topic further. It is probably beneficial to include procedures and examples regarding Permission to Publish documentation as the two seem to be linked closely.

Perhaps the best place to start is with some brainstorming and information gathering. For example:
 * What do you find is your most pressing concern regarding your AUP situation currently?
 * Are you looking for specific information?
 * Do you have exemplars or resources you wish to share?

I'll start with this observation... it seems as though we are forever playing "catch up" with AUPs due to the fast pace of technology. I have been looking for good video-conferencing permission slip exemplars to use for the remainder of this school year. Next year, I would like to wrap this into our broad "permission to publish". We have parents that are wary of the internet and I am looking for language that showcases the benefits of permitting students to collaborate and interact through video conferencing. One example that I located is from the Dallas Independent School District (look under Student Permission Form).

Here's another discussion thread to consider, what do you consider to be essential components for a 1:1 program AUP?

Please jump in, edit the page and let's get talking and sharing information. We are stronger and more effective //together//!
