Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) • An AUP is a set of general guidelines that outline what is appropriate or inappropriate use of school computers and networks • WHY? An AUP protects students from viewing unsuitable material on the Internet, protects students’ privacy, and limits school liability. • Both the student and his/her parents sign the AUP stating that they will abide by the guidelines set forth by the school system
AUPs Continued… • AUPs vary from school system to school system • For more information on our school district’s AUP for elementary school students: ABSS Elementary School AUP
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) • Students under age 13 must have parental consent for commercial websites to collect personal information • Parents or teachers can give consent or revoke their consent at any time • Most school districts have a strict policy about disclosing student information
COPPA Continued… • Parents and teachers must work together to ensure student online privacy • For more information on COPPA: Visit the Kidz Privacy website by the Federal Trade Commission
Photo Permission Forms • Parents must sign a photo permission form stating whether or not their child’s name, picture, or other work may be published • The work may be published in newsletters, local newspapers, or other school publications • Click here to see an example of what a photo permission form might look like
Photo Permission Forms Continued… • In our classrooms, a student’s work will be posted using their first name only if permission is given • Group photos that do not include students’ names do not require parental photo consent • We will use class websites to publish student work on the Internet so that it can be viewed by parents, students, relatives, and other teachers
