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<br>students here at Ringwood SC.<br>At present we have a Network Usage Policy that covers such things as
<br>obscene material and cyberbullying. Unfortunately much of the guts of<br>the policy is buried in policy speak<br>and doesn't translate well to student language.<br><br>My question is, what other approaches have other schools used to a)
<br>prevent the circulation of obscene material<br>on student laptops and b) clearly outline the consequences for going<br>against school policy ?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Neil<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
