  4. Acceptable Use – Why • The goal of the acceptable use document is to outline how the tools: computers, network, internet, resources (printers, scanners, personal storage devices) are to be used in your school or office. • To protect both the students and staff from using these tools improperly. Also to know what is or is not allowed with these resources.

  5. Acceptable Use - What • Hardware – what is available, what it can be used for, at what times • Internet – understanding that the content and material is not under the control of the school and that care with this tool must be taken in use of it. • Internet use as a educational tool, not a entertainment or personal communication tool (web, e-mail)

  6. Internet Use – What • In what ways tools like the Internet are acceptable, how e-mail should be used as a contact tool. • What information can be taken or brought into the school using storage devices (CD, Flash Drives, etc)

  11. Social Web Sites • Keep in mind that there is no good way that allows these providers to know for sure the age of the person and the account(s) they may setup. • Never post information about your specific location, nothing you would not want printed in a paper about yourself. • People’s response differs when they are not face to face.

  12. Cyberbullying • Cyberbullying is the tormenting , threatening, harassing, humiliation or embarrassing, using the Internet, other digital technologies, or mobile phones. • Cyberbullying is people in the same age range or peer group, not someone older.

  18. Phishing • Phishing is the attempt to trick people into providing information to sources other than the one being presented. • Phishing exists in e-mail, web sites • One of the most popular forms of web phishing is presenting the user with a pop-up that makes the user think the computer is infected and that they need to purchase the product they are presenting to clean it – products that either cause more troubles or do nothing.

  19. Phishing • This type of web phishing is quite common on social web sites since there is a high volume of viewers. • Some the of the most popular forms of e-mail phishing are personnel department requests, banking requests, and computer upgrades that require you to provide information about your accounts, or personal information to defraud you.
