How to Create Social Media Guidelines for Your School
Social media is fast becoming as ubiquitous as the air we breathe. In recent months, many schools and districts around the country have taken steps to create social media policies and guidelines for their students and staff. In my work with several districts to draft these documents, I have seen many approaches that work well, and some that don't.

Creating a plan with students to use cell phones for learning
Want to integrate cell phones into learning? You can involve your students with this planning lesson where students will focus on cell phones as learning tools. With an overview of the educational uses of cell phones (the Gr8 8, below), students will determine how they will choose to use their cell phones for educational purposes.
Contracts for tools will be developed by students and the result will be a plan for educational uses of cell phones.

AUPs in Context
Although primarily a tool for schools and other settings providing online services to children and young people, the key principles of the AUP can also be shared with parents and carers and provide a shared expectation of the behaviours children must adopt whenever, and wherever, they are using technology.
Effective AUPs will become increasingly important as a tool to promote safe and responsible behaviours in using technology both at school and in the home.
This document therefore aims to help schools and other providers of education and services to children and young people to develop effective AUPs within a framework of wider e-safety measures, within their local context.

World’s Simplest Online Safety Policy

World’s Simplest Online Safety Policy
By blocking students from the digital world, the jobs of administrators and educators are made easier, but if people became teachers, education leaders or parents because it was easy, they’ve selected the wrong profession.
While it is true that banning is an easy way out, doing so is short sighted and not visionary. It does not approach the innovative status that we hear so much about.

CoSN Unveils Web 2.0 Acceptable Use Guide
Acceptable Use Policies in Web 2.0 & Mobile Era
The Consortium for School Networking on Friday unveiled a guide for schools to follow when redrawing their Internet acceptable use policies to account for the proliferation of Web 2.0 technologies and mobile devices.
Information and communications technologies (ICT) policies in schools have two dimensions. One is to ensure that students are protected from pernicious materials on the Internet. The other is to enable student access to the extensive resources on the Internet for learning and teaching. While these two dimensions are not intrinsically in conflict, in actuality, such can become the case.

Using Facebook in the Classroom
Whether it is Facebook, MSN Messenger, Bebo, iChat, Skype, YouTube or any other form of social networking - we know our young people are, and will be, using it.
So, before we can fully embrace social media in the classroom, we need a few simple Dos and Don'ts and some common sense ...

School AUP 2.0
This is a dynamic document designed to support teachers, school media specialists, and education leaders in developing, maintaining, and enforcing policies designed to:
1. Promote the most effective, productive, and instructionally sound uses of digital, networked, and abundant information environments.
2. Provide safe digital environments for learners and to instill safe practices and habits among the learning community.
This wiki site will serve as a launchpad to other documents and communities seeking to provide guidance in acceptable use policy development and also as an incubator for ideas related to issues, document structures, new problems and opportunities, and maintenance.

Social Networking Acceptable Use Policy
"Schools are grappling with issues where students are capturing video, photos, and audio via cell phones and ipods at school and then posting these captures of other students and/or teachers to social networking sites such as YouTube, Flickr, Google Video, and Myspace while at home.
Many of us are striving to update our acceptable use policies as they relate to social networking sites.
Please help us edit and modify a working acceptable use policy for social networking that can be shared with other K12 educators.!"

Together with this use of new technology, comes a whole new set of problems relating to access rights, privacy and harassment.

Whole school responsibilities and acceptable use policies
The requirement to ensure that children and young people are able to use the internet and related communications technologies appropriately and safely is addressed as part of the wider duty of care to which all who work in schools are bound.
A framework of internet safety, or acceptable use, policies can help to ensure safe and appropriate use.
Headteachers, with the support of governors, should take a lead in embedding safe internet practices into the culture of the school, while a designated senior management role of internet safety coordinator can assist with co-ordinating internet safety activities on a day-to-day basis.

What is an acceptable use policy?
All schools want to create a safe ICT learning environment, but many are unsure how to begin.
Creating a safe ICT learning environment must include:
* an infrastructure of whole-school awareness, designated responsibilities, policies and procedures
* an effective range of technological tools
* a comprehensive internet safety education programme for the whole school community.
