Hi Trent
Swish is good for junior levels but limited in its application. If you are
looking at offering Multimedia at the VCE level down the track, then you are
better off biting the bullet and buying Flash.
Kind regards

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
