AUP 2.0
Several years ago, schools and districts were busy writing up their Acceptable Use Policies in an effort to deal with the new challenges of modern computers and the Internet. These documents defined the guidelines and procedures for using school technology and addressed the issues of the Internet -- the fire-hose of information.
Well, the Internet has changed. The world wide web is not only the source of the information flow, but we have become part of the flow. The Internet is participatory in a way that existed only in the dreams of the most imaginative visionaries of the mid-1990s. So, today we are struggling with the how, when, who, and why of new technologies such as blogging, podcasting, RSS subscriptions, social bookmarks, social media, and the social networkes that have become so central to teen and young adult culture.
It's time to take those AUPs off the shelf, unfold them, and add a whole new layer -- web publishing policies. It is essential that your new technology use policy is designed not merely as a preventative tool, but as an enabling document that promotes effective uses that solve problems and accomplish goals. I want to suggest four steps to rewriting that might result in four sections of the policy document.
- Establish goals for the use of read/write web tools. These goals should range through administrative functions, classroom management, and instructional objectives.
- Itemize and describe specific uses of read/write web applications that you will promote and support, tied to the goals established in the first section.
- Briefly but clearly identify those activities that will not be allowed. These might include conducting business, advertising commercial products or services, defaming the character of others, and jeopardizing in any way the safety of students.
- Plan your document or ancillary materials to serve as instructional resources that might be used in the classroom. Provide teachers with guidelines and procedures that not only govern student use of technology, but also help them to understand and put into practice basic foundations of information ethics.
