Steve I was unable to view your draft as it was blocked by my school. We have been a 1:1 notebook school for over 10yrs and being fairly new to the school as an eLearning Director I'm getting fed up with the I.T department blocking all social networking sites. I finally got them to unblock Twitter/Facebook/Ning for me (only) just yesterday, but it's terribly frustrating. I'll add Wordpress now to my list.

Steve I was unable to view your draft as it was blocked by my school. We have been a 1:1 notebook school for over 10yrs and being fairly new to the school as an eLearning Director I'm getting fed up with the I.T department blocking all social networking sites. I finally got them to unblock Twitter/Facebook/Ning for me (only) just yesterday, but it's terribly frustrating. I'll add Wordpress now to my list. Whilst we have a clear communications policy and also a notebook agreement policy we will also need to address social networking and web 2.0 technologies more specifically, I agree that it could be tied into a web publishing policy.<br />
<br />
With the principals support I have just announced to the staff that we are opening up social networking sites to the students in 2010. In the new year I will also present this to parents. The main issue the staff raised though was around the "duty of care". For example: If the student is under the legal age to open up a Facebook account but they do it anyone on a notebook leased from the school are we responsible? What are your thoughts on this? Anyone?

I was able to access my backups of the home directory containing the WordPress in which it was installed along with the mySQL database. I should be able to restore it when I get time.<br />

I'm considering a WordPRessMu installation so that interested individuals can put up multiple documents for scutiny and commenting. An example of such based upon the NYSED draft tech plan can be viewed <a href="http://openedweb.com/nystechplan" target="_blank">here</a>.

I am in the research phase of retooling our AUP to reflect the use of Web 2.0 tools, and would love to see a copy of it as well. Good luck with your presentation!

I took it down in a housekeeping spree. It's dangerous to keep unattended wordpress installs around. Lose track and they become targets for hackers.<br />
<br />
I'll see what I can scrape up and maybe I can rebuild it. It may be over Thanksgiving Break as I am extremely busy getting my presentations ready for the NYSCATE conference.

I have revised the <a href="http://openedweb.com/comment">front page</a> to allow registration and adding a policy to the site. I invite others will post their own ideas and drafts for comment. I'd love to see other examples demonstrating the points other have made here.

Really, the policy can be summarized in a few short points, but my experience is that some require more detail, specificity, and examples. Remember, the audience is not just faculty. It includes board members, parents, students, and community members with varying degrees of understandings and concerns.<br />
<br />
I definitely plan on including an "elastic" clause to provide for other situations and tools. I'd also like another such clause allowing the Tech committee to review and approve individual…

I definitely plan on including an "elastic" clause to provide for other situations and tools. I'd also like another such clause allowing the Tech committee to review and approve individual projects or tools outside of what was included.<br />
<br />
I struggled with the policy for quite awhile before deciding on a tools framework, generally preferring a tops down to a bottoms up approach.<br />
<br />
I plan on setting up a new revision soon. I have been waiting for the new version of commentpress to be released as it will deal with editing better.<br />

I would like to invite others to submit policy drafts of their own starting from scratch or borrowing from this or other materials. When I get home, I will make sure it is set up so others can register and submit their own drafts.

I agree that I want guidance to feel more inviting than restrictive, but what about the folks who don't have professional judgement? I've met them and their administrators are tearing out their hair becasue without some formal guidelines, they're not sure what to do . . . they don't know enough. I think Steve's analogy to the staff handbook is a good one. And, also . . . shorter will definitly be better than longer. I'm hoping we can draft something in our district that provides broad guidance…

I think Steve's analogy to the staff handbook is a good one. And, also . . . shorter will definitly be better than longer. I'm hoping we can draft something in our district that provides broad guidance and isn't necessarily tool-specific. If it's too tool-specific, then we'll be revising our AUP and guidelines every month! For instance, one broad catagory I imagine is "on-line tools that require students to create an account with a personal email."
