NTPG: Guidelines for Acceptable Use PolicyNetwork Technology Planning Guide (NTPG) - Appendix E.     District Guidelines on the Acceptable Use of Electronic Information Resources

Information resources offer access to computers and people throughout the world. Students and staff will have access to electronic mail and college and university libraries, information and news from a variety of sources and research institutions, software of all types, and discussion groups on a wide variety of topics, and much more!

The following guidelines are intended to be helpful and provide a base from which district and school policies can be tailored. While the emphasis here is on appropriate use, there is no intent to diminish the vital nature of electronic information services. The concerns described here are real, but they should not discourage school officials from planning for the appropriate use of one of education's newest and most valuable tools.

We encourage the establishment of a district level electronic information resources committee. Whenever possible, the committee should be composed of school board members, administrators, teachers, library media personnel, students and parents. It should be chaired by the administrator who has overall responsibility for student use of electronic information resources. The committee should develop policies and provide all users and potential users and parents with a handbook that describes the policies related to the acceptable use of electronic information resources.

While electronic information resources offer tremendous opportunities of educational value, they also offer persons with illegal or unethical purposes avenues for reaching students, teachers, and others, including parents. The following represent some of the inappropriate uses that may occur:

using the network for commercial advertising using copyrighted material in reports without permission using the network to lobby for votes using the network to access a file that contains pornographic pictures, taking them

home, and telling parents, "I got them at school" using the network to send/receive messages that are racist using the network to send/receive inflammatory messages creating a computer virus and placing it on the network using the network to send/receive a message with someone else's name on it using the network to send/receive a message that is inconsistent with the school's

code of conduct using the network to send/receive messages that are sexist and contain obscenities using the network to request home phone numbers and, later, making obscene

phone calls to the numbers using the network to provide addresses or other personal information that others

may use inappropriately

using the network for sending and receiving a large number of personal messages

The primary purposes of the committee are to devise ways to protect students, to develop processes for the reporting of abuses, and to design methods to prevent their recurrence.

All users should be aware that the inappropriate use of electronic information resources can be a violation of local, state, and federal laws. Violations can lead to prosecution.

(3) College Advisement: Secondary teachers often have the opportunity to advise students on decisions pertaining to college. In many environments, teachers are the only individuals that students know who have been to college.

Describe a real or hypothetical student (interests, family SES, and personality) who is interested in pursuing a career in a field related to what you teach. Recommend a major and 4-year college and explain the rationale for your recommendation using information found on college websites. Provide active links to the colleges, and quote relevant information.

Provide a paragraph of advice to the parents of this student regarding financing college. Consider their financial and family situation.

I have had the opportunity to get to know my students and their families on a personal level, and therefore have a good idea on the information I am about to share. This particular girl’s name is Julie (I am not using her real name). She is twelve years old and is in 7th grade at Gage Middle School. Although I don’t teach at Gage Middle School, I have known her since she was in 4th grade at Middleton Street Elementary, and kept her as my violin student ever since. She wants to pursue a career in Music Education, and wants to attend college one day. Her parents are not very knowledgeable about the programs that are out there to help Julie attend college, and like most parents in this community, are not educated themselves. The average income for this community is about $18,000 a year for a family of six. (As part of a scholarship that we received for our music program, I had to survey each of my student’s families and find out their income, so I know).
