Austin Area School does have a computer use policy that all students and staff must sign in order to have internet privileges. To tell you the truth I have never read the entire form. I got it out to review for this class and it covers all of the major areas of Digital Citizenship. The main headings on the form are: Purpose, Authority, Responsibility, Guidelines, Security, Safety, Consequences for Inappropriate Uses, and Copyright. I do not go over the form with my students and none of the teachers I asked do either. I am going to at the very least discuss this form with my classes next year. We need to add a digital citizenship program to our district. Our librarian does cover copyrights and appropriate use of technology with the younger students in her class, but our high school students do not have it set into the curriculum. We have a new technology committee that has formed at the school to address issues like this.I found several websites that I am going to use with my students next year that summarize cyberetiquette for students. The sites are listed in my e-portfolio. Students need to realize that the information that they put on facebook, and everywhere on the internet is permanent and may have consequences for them.
