BYOD LHS STUDENT GUIDELINES

B RING Y OUR O WN D EVICE It is the student’s responsibility to know what the guidelines are in each classroom. (Know Your Boss) Teachers’ expectations differ. You MUST go by the rules of the classroom you are in.

DEFINITION OF DEVICE For purposes of BYOD, “Device” means a privately owned portable electronic device that includes, but is not limited to, existing and emerging mobile communication systems and smart technologies, portable internet devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand held entertainment systems or portable information technology systems that can be used for word processing, wireless Internet access, image capture/recording, sound recording and information transmitting/receiving/storing, etc. (Technology including but not limited to: iPod Touch, iPad, Nook, Kindle, eBook Reader, Netbook or Laptop, Smartphone – iPhone/Android, Nintendo 3Ds and DSi, PSP, Playstation Vita)

USING THE INTERNET Students are only allowed to access the Internet through the school’s wireless BYOD network. At no time should they use their personal cell service to access the Internet. Therefore, there will be no additional cost to their data plan.

SECURITY AND DAMAGES Responsibility to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. The School District of Pickens County, its staff or employees, will not be liable for any device stolen or damages to any device on campus. If a device is stolen or damaged, it will be handled through the administrative office similar to other personal items in such situations. It is recommended that appropriate skins (decals) and other custom forms of identification are used to physically identify your device from others. Additionally, protective cases for technology are encouraged.

BYOD STUDENT AGREEMENT The use of technology to provide educational material is not a necessity but a privilege. A student does not have the right to use his or her laptop, cell phone or other electronic device while at school. When abused, privileges will be taken away. When respected, they will benefit the learning environment as a whole. All students need to complete and return the permission form.

SDPC GUIDELINES Students must access the district network in order to ensure the guidelines of the Child Internet Protection Act are followed. Students must register their devices at each school following district protocol. Students must turn off their data plans while on campus. Students will use personal technology devices only for educational purposes when instructed in classrooms. When teachers call for “Devices Down”, students must shut off/close devices. Not every teacher allows BYOD. Students must follow teachers’ directions. Any misuse will result in standard cell phone/technology disciplinary action.

I will access the internet using the school's guest wireless network (BYOD). (As noted in board policy, all district provided web access will have web content filters applied in an effort to provide safe and appropriate web content for students.) I will not bypass the school’s filtered network. I will not infect the network with a Virus, Trojan, or program designed to damage, alter, destroy, or provide access to unauthorized data or information is in violation of policy. I will not access information on school property related to “hacking,” altering, or bypassing network security policies is in violation of policy. The school district has the right to collect and examine any device that is suspected of causing problems or was the source of an attack or virus infection. Students acknowledge that:

STUDENTS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT: I will only use and access content from my device that is directly related to our instructional objectives. Printing from personal devices will not be possible at school. My personal device will be charged prior to bringing it to school and will run off its own battery while at school. Each teacher will specify how the devices may be used in his/her classroom.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT Digital footprint - what you are doing on the Internet and mobile devices Anything transmitted on your phone is archived and becomes a permanent record. Anything you send digitally is considered to be public record.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT “If you take an [inappropriate] picture, you can be accused of producing child pornography ; if you send it to somebody, you can be accused of distributing child pornography, and if you keep a picture, you can be accused of possessing child pornography. Anywhere along this chain of transmission of the images, you can be charged as a registered sex offender. “ ~ Parry Aftab, an Internet privacy and security attorney
