Internet Safety Policy
Computers and the Internet will be used as tools to educate and inform. You be required to think critically, analyze information, write clearly, and use problem-solving skills to use these tools effectively. It is important to remember that the use of Computers and the Internet are privileges and should not be taken for granted.
It is critical to your success in this class that you know and understand the Internet Safety Policy. This policy is a guide to using the Internet in a safe and productive manner. This guide goes along with the districts Acceptable use Policy.

Regaining privileges
1. After the third offense students will have to write an email to their parents explaining why they lost their privileges, if it happens again they will lose them for the year, and why they should get them back. The teacher will then send this email to their parents along with a phone call home.
2. Along with the email students will also need to bring in baked goods. (Lemon squares, snicker doodles, whoopee pies…) Just Kidding

Final Project Draft 448
I created a website using Weebly to compile a bunch of online resources that cover various renewable resources. The renewable resources that I selected are wind, hdro, biomass, solar, and geothermal. My students will have to research two of these renewable resources. Along with the website I have made my students will also have a work sheet, which they will have to complete. Some of the questions on the work sheet are:
How does the renewable energy work?
Has it been used in the past?
What are the costs?
What are the benefits?
What are the disadvantages?
How could you use this in your community?

Blog 4
I teach several different classes that all utilize the internet differently. The class that I will be creating an Internet Safety and Security policy for is Bio Technology. This is the same class that I will be creating my final project for. This is a high school class which has all grade levels in it. Students go through thirteen different stations in one year. They spend three weeks at each station. Almost all the work is done on a computer. Some of the work includes looking up: articles about the subject, vocab words, careers related to the subject, and any subject they need more knowledge about.
Since this class is very student lead and the students have a lot of freedom from the teacher it is important that I be very specific in what they can and cannot do. It is important that my policy points out exactly how they are allowed to use the Internet. The schools policy does this already but my policy needs to give them a quick refresher and also be more specific. It needs to outline for them how I expect them to use the web ex. what type of sites they are allowed to use, what type of sites they are not allowed to use.
This class relies on the Internet most of its research. My policy needs to talk about plagiarism and how to site their work appropriately.
Since this class gives them a lot of responsibility my policy needs to make it clear that the consequences for breaking the rules are severe. If they are unable to be trust worthy then they will lose their privileges of using the Internet as a resource.
