ICT user agreement

Karori Normal School believes in a Digital Citizenship model for supporting safe and responsible use of the internet in teaching and learning. An important part of this is that we are able to show others what that responsible use looks like while we are using technology in our learning.

We think a good digital citizen is someone who;

• is a confident and capable user of ICT
• will use ICT for learning as well as other activities
• will think carefully about whether the information they see online is true
• will be able to speak the language of digital technologies
• understands that they may experience problems when using technology but can deal with them
• will always use ICT to communicate with others in positive ways
• will be honest and fair in all of their actions using ICT
• will always respect people’s privacy and freedom of speech online
• will help others to become a better digital citizens.

We have discussed this as a class and come up some things that good digital citizens will look like, sound like and feel like. Here's what we came up with:

Before we can start using any of the equipment and go online we must sign the user agreement (which includes all the things we came up with above).

 Room 17 is doing things a bit differently this year and instead of having paper copies, we're trying to be digital citizens and sign this online. So we need parents & children to write their names in the padlet below OR in the comments section.

I understand that these guidelines for responsible user are to be followed when using any technology while at school or while on any school activity. I am aware that this may include the use of a device that the school does not own. I understand that if I do not follow this responsible use agreement, I may lose access to school ICT services including the use of the internet.
