List<BR>Subject: [Year 12 IPM] off-topic request: laptop usage policy<BR><BR>Hi
Everyone,<BR><BR>Apologies for this off-topic request.<BR><BR>I'm helping put
together a 1:1 Laptop Learning Programme for Year 9 students here at Ringwood
SC.<BR>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.<BR><BR>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 ?<BR><BR>Thanks
in
advance,<BR><BR>Neil<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR><A
