Student guidelines for Internet use General You are responsible for good behaviour on the Internet just as you are in a classroom or a school corridor. General school rules apply. You will be asked to read and sign a copy of the student AUP at the start of term. The Internet is provided for you to conduct research and communicate with others. Remember that access is a privilege, not a right and that access requires responsibility. Individual users of the Internet are responsible for their behaviour and communications over the network. It is presumed that users will comply with school standards and will honour the agreements they have signed. Computer storage areas and memory sticks will be treated like school lockers. Staff may review files and communications to insure that users are using the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on servers, memory sticks or disks would always be private. During school, teachers will guide you toward appropriate materials. Outside of school, your family bear responsibility for such guidance as they must also exercise with information sources such as television, telephones, movies, radio and other potentially offensive media. The following are not permitted: 1. Sending or displaying offensive messages or pictures 2. Using obscene language 3. Harassing, insulting or attacking others 4. Damaging computers, computer systems or computer networks 5. Violating copyright laws 6. Using others' passwords 7. Trespassing in others' folders, work or files 8. Intentionally wasting limited resources 9. Accessing inappropriate sites or using specific software to gain access to another students’ documents or social media account. Sanctions 1. Violations of the above rules will result in a temporary or permanent ban on network use. 2. Additional disciplinary action may be added in line with existing practice on inappropriate language or behaviour. 3. When applicable, police or local authorities may be involved. 57
Guidelines for the use of Computer Printers Much of your school work will involve using the computer network. This could be in lesson time with your teacher, break or private study time in the library or in one of the computer rooms during lunch or prep. The chances are that you will often want to print something out. The following guidelines will enable you to get the best out of the printing facilities, while at the same time helping to minimise the enormous waste caused by thoughtless use of the printers. 1. Why do I need guidelines? Think of the printing you do, and then think of the printing done by over 800 other people at <strong>Ratcliffe</strong>. Then, think that about 40% of what comes out of the printers goes straight into the bin, and you are talking BIG TIME WASTE! So, what you need to do is to read on and see how you can help cut down on waste. 2. Tell me about Printer Credits. All students need printer credits in order to use the printers. It actually costs 5p to print an average page on a black and white printer, and about 10p for colour. So, each time you print out, it reduces your credits accordingly. When you run out, you cannot print any more. You can see how many credits you have by clicking on the icon at the bottom right of the screen. The more careful you are about printing, the longer your credits will last. 3. How can I be careful about printing? Here are some tips to avoid waste: Be careful when clicking on screen buttons. Don’t click on print, when you really mean to click on save. Think which printer you want to use – colour or black and white. Don’t use one, and then change your mind and print the same document out on the other one. Don’t send anything to the printer within 15 minutes of the end of a lesson in the computer room. It may not be printed out by the time you leave. 58
