Teachers & TA’s are responsible for student online safety Don’t rely on the “filter” to keep out all objectionable material Place computer monitors so you can see what students are doing If students are working independently at a computer check on them periodically Students are never to use the Internet without adult supervision

Paperwork! All faculty must read and sign the AUP each year Students must take and pass the “Student Internet Test” each year Students who are unable to read the “test” may have it read to them All students must have a current (this academic year) permission form signed by their parents These forms can be found at: http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/lausd/lausdnet/aup.html

Remember, you are the best “filter.”
