Working for IT support at the Sheldon Regional College. The Principal of the College has been encouraging the introduction of computer technology into the classroom. This has been very successful with all year levels in the senior school (years 7 to 12)and year(4 to 6) not only having to study at least one information technology subject, but also being able to use their laptops in most of their other subjects.
However, with the benefits of using the technology to support learning have come some disadvantages. Although students have been told that the laptops, network infrastructure and access to the Internet at School is strictly limited to learning activities, there is increasing evidence that these guidelines are not being followed. The Principal has asked you to prepare an Acceptable Use Policy that clearly explains to the senior school students what activities are allowed and what is considered unacceptable. He also requires you to recommend appropriate penalties if the rules are breached. The Principal has determined that the policy will be AT MOST one A4 page that can be posted in all laboratories and classrooms (you may assume that the finished size of the posters will be A2). The policy should include the Do's and Don'ts of computer and internet use as well as penalties that could be applied if the policy is breached.
