the Internet that the information available is free. Increasing restrictions will undoubtedly lead to systems of charging for access to specific material, in addition to the other costs described. An alternative system is to educate students and encourage an ‘acceptable use’ policy, and partnership between home and school in dealing with the less savoury side of internet use. This is the line which we take. 55
What is the School Policy on the use of the Internet? <strong>Ratcliffe</strong> <strong>College</strong> encourages use by students of the rich information resources available on the internet, together with the development of appropriate skills to analyse and evaluate such resources. These skills will be fundamental in the society you will be entering. Internet access, because it may lead to any publicly available site in the world, will open classrooms to electronic information resources, which have not been selected by your teachers as, appropriate for use. On-line services significantly alter the information landscape for schools by opening classrooms to a broader array of resources. In the past, teaching and library materials could usually be carefully chosen. All such materials would be chosen to be consistent with national policies, supporting and enriching the curriculum while taking into account the varied teaching needs, learning styles, abilities and developmental levels of the students. Electronic information research skills are now fundamental to preparation of citizens and future employees during the Information age. The school expects your teachers continue to investigate possibilities and blend use of such information as appropriate within the curriculum and that they will provide guidance and instruction to you in the appropriate use of such resources. Access to on-line resources will enable you to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin boards while exchanging messages with people throughout the world. The school believes that the benefits to students from access to information resources and increased opportunities for collaboration exceed the disadvantages. But ultimately, your parents and guardians are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that you should follow when using media and information sources. 56
