Harvest Baptist Academy Responsible Use

of Technology Agreement Student Form

Overview

Harvest Baptist Academy supports and encourages the use of technology to enhance and facilitate learning. The Internet gives teachers and students access to important educational resources such as online museums, encyclopedias, government libraries and databases etc. . Along with this availability comes the risk of access to material that may not be considered to be of educational value. While student use of the Internet will be supervised, Harvest Baptist Academy does not have full control of the content that may be accessible. Students are expected to exercise responsible Christian behaviour when using the internet. Access to the school computers and the Internet is given as a privilege to students, not a right. We require that students and parents/guardians read, understand and agree to the following rules for acceptable computer use and on-line behaviour.

Student Responsibilities include:

● Using the Internet in a way that is consistent with the mission and policies of Harvest Baptist Academy.

● Using the internet ONLY for school related or staff approved educational work. The following are not permitted:

• Sending or receiving personal email.
• Sending, receiving or displaying offensive messages or pictures.
• Playing online games (not approved by HBA), participating in chat rooms, reading or posting weblogs unless specifically related to coursework.
• Using another student’s password or giving another student his/her password.
• Damaging or altering computer or network equipment or software.
• Revealing personal information about myself or other individuals.

● Adhering to rules of copyright.

● Learning and using citations correctly.

Signing and returning the attached form I understand:

● Students have access to school computers and network resources.

● Not all student work or usage is guaranteed to be private. Teachers, the administrator or other technology staff may monitor activity or access files when there is a reason to suspect inappropriate conduct or when there is a problem with the system.

● Students will have a school account from Google Apps for Education (GAFE)

• The GAFE account allows students to use online email, calendars, documents, and applications to communicate and collaborate with other students and teachers. The tools and resources are provided by Google, and all files and information are stored on Google servers, which may be located anywhere in the world and subject to the laws of that country.
