Acceptable Use Policies

Is your AUP non-existent, incomplete, or out-of-date? Use these tools, tips, and the template!

Set policies for use of school technologies—and monitor and enforce adherence

An essential element in any school’s technology plan is an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that clearly defines how, when, by whom, and for what purpose a school’s technological resources are to be utilized. For all students, teachers, and staff who use the school technology, an updated Acceptable Use Policy should be read and signed every year.

In reality, though, most schools' AUPs are out-of-date, unsigned, or simply non-existent.

Get the information you need to create a comprehensive, current AUP, covering mobile learning, Web 2.0 and social media, personally-owned devices, cyberbullying and more. AND find out how you can get a solution to help you set network policies and monitor network use to enforce your AUP.
