<DIV><BR><BR>A really good strategy is to develop these together with the
students. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing, but this discussion is great to
have on a blog, but can cause problems if there are no guidelines to start with
:) A normal discussion works well too though.<BR><BR>In the end it ends up being
somewhere between your standard network AUP and your standard school behaviour
policy (use of language, bullying, naughty pictures etc), but the students are
more likely to respect it if they've had a say in it (often the consequences
they come up with are harsher than what I would have suggested).
