Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Recommend multimedia software
Hello Everyone
I am currently putting together a couple of multimedia units for years 9
and 10 (1 at each) and I will need to buy some new software. Can anyone
out their recommend some applications that I might be able to afford?
I want to be able to produce animations, edit video and audio.
SWiSH looks interesting, any other ideas?
Cheers

1. Plain language simple 1 page document buried in policy, but
displayed and given to students on each transgression.
Computer Use Agreement
The College provides a range of computer resources for the educational
opportunities that they provide to all students. There are rules
concerning their use just as in any other area of school life. These
rules ensure that computers are used to achieve the educational goals of
the school program, and that all students take responsibility for their
actions when using computers.
We understand and agree to abide by College rules, in particular:
Inappropriate Internet Use: When visiting internet sites, students must
abide by the college's Research Policy, by not accessing sites that
provide pornographic, violent, drug related, racist, illegal (by either
State, National or International Law) or socially unacceptable material.
* Surf, Chat & Email: Students should not: "Surf" the internet for
amusement; use "chat" software or sites; access any personal email.
Students should be using the internet for educational research ONLY
under the supervision of a teacher for purposes set by the teacher.
Inappropriate Network Use
* Password Violation: Students must not, under any circumstances,
attempt to discover passwords or log on to the network as another
person. Students are to accept full responsibility (and penalties) for
use of any personal passwords by others.
* Non-educational Files: Students must not store files unrelated
to their studies on the network. Network storage space is provided to
students to enable them to store and access information related to their
educational courses at this school. Storage of other files such as
programs and pictures for entertainment and general interest are not
permitted. Such files may be deleted without warning if they are taking
up too much network storage space.
* Games: Students are NOT to use, download, or store on network
or floppy discs any unauthorised games.
* Excess Storage in Network Folder after being warned with logon
notice.
Inappropriate Hardware & Software Use
* Hardware must be used carefully and software settings must not
be changed without the permission of the teacher.
* Any floppy disks owned by students but used on school computer
must be protected from dust at all times so that they do not damage
school disc drives, and scanned for viruses prior to use on College
computers
* Students must not engage in any activity which will either
infringe existing laws (including copyright) or impinge on the school's
or individual's reputation.
* The Cheltenham Secondary College must not be used in the
registering of addresses, purchase of products, adding to mailing
addresses or registering interest in a web site, product, mail order,
competition unless approved by a member of staff.
Punishment:
Loss of network AND/ OR internet access ______________________________ *
Return of this letter OR * Date:
After school detention (3:20pm - 3:50pm)._______________________________
* Date:
Repeated or serious breaches of the rules will lead to permanent
withdrawal of access to the college computer facilities and/or
suspension (regardless of whether or not computers are required for
course or study purposes).
Student Signature:
&n!bsp;
Parent/Guardian Signature:
Date:_____________________
2. Record keeping - all student transgressions recorded database
shared with all other teachers so it is not a separate and ignored
"tech" transgression.
3. Public action - All serious breaches referred to normal school
behaviour system AND criminal breaches (e.g. serious pornography)
referred to police
We do not want to try to hold back the tide of portable storage
availability. BUT we need to communicate to the students & admin that
the inevitable increase in storage power mean the increase in potential
for abuse. Admin will try to make it a technical issue (can't you get
software to stop them, detect the source of the files etc etc) It is
not a technical issue. It is a rights vs.. responsibility issue.

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] off-topic request: laptop usage policy
Hi Everyone,
Apologies for this off-topic request.
I'm helping put together a 1:1 Laptop Learning Programme for Year 9
students here at Ringwood SC.
At present we have a Network Usage Policy that covers such things as
obscene material and cyberbullying. Unfortunately much of the guts of
the policy is buried in policy speak and doesn't translate well to
student language.
My question is, what other approaches have other schools used to a)
prevent the circulation of obscene material on student laptops and b)
clearly outline the consequences for going against school policy ?
Thanks in advance,
Neil
