2009 Technology Plan

The following general rules are to be followed in addition to those stated in the network agreement:

Email

• Other e-mail accounts are not to be accessed or created while using the WLPS network account. Profanity, threats or any other inappropriate language is not to be used. This includes attachments. Accounts are kept "clean" by deleting e-mails regularly and emptying your deleted items container regularly.



• Emailing is to be accessed with the permission of the teacher during class time. On your own time, such as during lunch, you may access e-mail with the permission of the adult in charge of the computer you are using.



• Only open e-mail coming from a source with which you are familiar. Delete all other e-mail without opening it to avoid viruses.

• Students are only allowed on the Internet for classroom assignments and must have permission from an adult to access the Internet.



• No pornographic or otherwise inappropriate sites are to be accessed.



• Nothing is to be downloaded from the Internet without permission.



• If you should accidentally access anything unacceptable on the Internet, you are to back out immediately and report this to the teacher/person in charge of the class/lab. It is important for you to report this, as the site will remain in the cache and this could get you in trouble at a later time.

• Do not reveal your password to anyone.



• You and you alone are responsible for anything and everything found in your network home directory.



• Save all documents to your network home directory. Do not save to the hard drive of any machine at school.



• The use of disks is prohibited! If you find yourself in a bind with an assignment check with your teacher about proper procedure involving the use of disks.

• In most cases Fool Proof will be activated on a student machine. If by any chance it is not active, the settings for the machine are to be left as the technology director and/or tech. assistants have set them up. No macro commands are to be activated on the machine or within an individual application.

• Breaking one or more of the rules above will result in a warning. After a warning has been given, any infraction of the rules will result in revocation of the e-mail and/or network account.
