Acceptable Use

Acceptable Technology

Education World gives a wonderful overview of ways to use acceptable technology. One of those ways being what is called an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). An AUP is an important document that gives a guideline as to how to use technology in an appropriate manner. The teacher and/or school system can choose to have students signed the document.

An AUP should contain these 6 key elements:

  • a preamble,
  • a definition section,
  • a policy statement,
  • an acceptable uses section,
  • an unacceptable uses section, and
  • a violations/sanctions section.
