Grade 3 to Grade 5 – Student Agreement of Acceptable Technology Use

Philosophy

The purpose of this policy is to set forth guidelines for acceptable use of the International School Yangon computer system and access to the Internet.

Expectations

Any student who is a user of the school system provided technology resources is expected to use the resources for educational purposes only. Any use of the school system provided technology resources and the Internet should always reflect academic honesty, high ethical standards, and moral responsibility.

The following guidelines, which are based on the ISY Learner Attributes, apply to any and all digital tools and devices students may be using in school or at home, including but not limited to internet resources such as laptops, iPads, smartphones and cameras.

I will:

• use technology responsibly
• not send or display rude, mean, or insulting messages, comments or media
• not hurt, frighten, or make fun of others
• always log off accounts and from technology tools after every use
• not use technologies to bully or tease other people
• use only my own password when logging onto the school’s device

I will:

• use the programs and websites that my teachers have approved
• tell adults right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable
• respect the work and files of others and agree not to open, copy, change or delete work that is not mine
• think before I post any information publicly. The information and activity are not private and can be accessed by the Tech office.

I will:

• give credit when I have used other peoples’ work (citing sources), photos, video clips, music, texts, etc.
• follow the rules that are set by the teacher and not allow technology to disrupt my studies or the studies of my classmates.

I will:

• use all equipment and networks carefully
• keep my own and other classmates personal information private
• keep my password private and I will share it only with my parents and teachers
• lose my technology privileges and there may be other consequences if I fail to follow these rules.

Student’s Agreement

I have read this list of guidelines and if I did not understand I asked an adult to explain it. I agree to accept and follow these guidelines as I develop into a responsible, digital citizen.
