Internet Use Policy

My project here was to create a site that made the policy for classroom internet use clear. I would obviously plan to go over such a policy with the class in person, however; this page would serve as a constant reminder to my students as to the appropriate use of the internet in my class. This would be a sort of digital agreement that I could refer to and that would serve to diminish student confusion in regard to my expectations.

This on-line list of expectations would aim to “promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information” (4.c.). In creating this page I have thought about the use of the internet in my classroom and worked through how I will try to enforce responsible use such a powerful tool.

In my future classrooms I will refer students to this site in the beginning of the year so that they will know how to reference it later in the semester if they have any questions on the specifics of internet use policy. I will plan to edit the site so that it will fit the internet policy of the school at which I am employed.
