Tech+and+Consequences

How do we give consequences with technology?

What happens if students forget to log out of their account on shared computers? Acceptable Use Policies What happens when kids are using their school devices to play games?

We can’t hold students accountable if we don’t hold teachers accountable. 1:1 laptop program for teachers If teachers forget their devices they can get another one for the day, but students can’t. Is that fair? Admins have to support technology.

One solution brought up is the tech office would change the student’s avatar if they stayed logged on-

What happens if a teacher violated the acceptable use policy? Old laptops may be given out instead of newer ones so they have to “suffer” for a day with a slow machine. If a device is lost, the family has to buy a new one for the school If it is broken, the family has to pay $100 for it to be fixed

Should the Acceptable Use Policy be combined with the Honor Code and not a separate document. Responsible Use Policy is the name of some school’s Acceptable Use Policies.

How do we fix computers that are filled with personal stuff? School stuff should take priority. There won’t be extra hard drives put into computers if most of the storage is personal. Tech departments shouldn’t necessarily help with that, but some teachers need guidance on how to do this so the tech support does need to help.

Google Drive accounts are unlimited- should personal stuff be on there?

Tutorial videos are good to send out to faculty like “How to clean space from your phone.”

What do we do with teachers who are still using Microsoft Word?

More and more schools have developed a “Service Level Agreement” Web help desk with “urgent” “two days fix” etc. The student will get an alert with this information
