<p>TECHNOLOGY AND ON-LINE RESOURCES - APPROPRIATE USE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Technology is a vital part of the school district curriculum.&nbsp; The Internet will be made available to employees.&nbsp; Appropriate and equitable use of the Internet will allow employees to access resources unavailable through traditional means, to engage in research, and to communicate with others.&nbsp; To ensure the smooth operation of the school&#39;s computer network and to protect the best interests of the district, these guidelines have been developed to clarify the appropriate, ethical, and legal use of this technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Employees will be able to access the Internet through the school&#39;s network.&nbsp; Individual accounts and electronic mail addresses will be issued to employees.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Internet can provide a vast collection of educational resources for employees.&nbsp; It is a global network, which makes it impossible to control all available information.&nbsp; Because information appears, disappears and changes constantly, it is not possible to predict or control what employees may locate.&nbsp; The school district makes no guarantees as to the accuracy of information received on the Internet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Employees should understand that use of technology is not private and usage may be monitored and reviewed by school officials.&nbsp; Employee account passwords should be kept private and appropriate precautions should be taken to prevent others from acquiring them.&nbsp; Any inappropriate activity is the responsibility of the account holder.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Employees will sign a form acknowledging they have read and understand the Technology and On-Line Resources - Appropriate Use policy and regulations, that they will comply with the policy and regulations and understand the consequences for violation of the policy or regulations.</p>
