Student Use of Technology Policy

 

San Jose Conservation Corps Charter School (“SJCCCS”) finds that new technologies are modifying the way in which information may be accessed, communicated and transferred. Those changes also alter instruction and student learning. SJCCCS offers students access to technologies that may include Internet access, electronic mail, and equipment, such as computers, tablets, or other multimedia hardware. By its adoption of this Policy, the Board intends that technological resources provided by SJCCCS be used in a safe, responsible, and proper manner in support of the instructional program and for the advancement of student learning. 

 

Definitions

 

• “Educational purpose” means classroom activities, research in academic subjects, career or professional development activities, SJCCCS approved personal research activities, or other purposes as defined by SJCCCS from time to time. 

 

• “Inappropriate use” means a use that is inconsistent with an educational purpose or that is in clear violation of this Policy and the Acceptable Use Agreement.

 

Approved Use of SJCCCS Technology

 

Use of SJCCCS equipment and access to the Internet via SJCCCS equipment and resource networks is intended to serve and pursue educational goals and purposes. Student use of the Internet is therefore limited to only those activities that further or enhance the delivery of an educational purpose. Students and staff have a duty to use SJCCCS resources only in a manner specified in the Policy.
