This document clearly states how the school expects the students to use the equipment they are provided and in what condition they expect them to stay in. For example in this instance, the identification labels are not to be removed or modified, as well as no damage is to be done to render the iPad inoperable. Parents are also provided a list of responsibilities. The main ones are in regards to supervising their child’s use of the iPad at home, and making sure that they bring it to school every day.
Some interesting topics I found in this agreement were that the students are not allowed to create any social media account with their provided school email. Also with the use of technology cyber bullying is prohibited and cheating and plagiarism will be enforced. They even provide a clear definition of what they consider cyber bullying to be.
"Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others."
For a lengthy agreement most of us never really read all the way through, everything really does seemed to be covered in it.

I like how you explained what you thought was interesting about the agreement. I think you could add more detail about the restrictions and guidelines that the agreement holds for the students.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the specific AUP's dealing with iPads at Alliance High School!
