they would as if they were on a field trip!
Students’ Internet use should be tailored to their ages
Random Internet browsing should NOT be allowed! Students on the Internet
should have a specific purpose for being there!
Teachers should check the history of visited sites as much as possible, especially
if there is suspicion of students going to inappropriate sites.

Publishing on the Internet
Content must be school-related
Students should not fill out forms or post information
that reveals “private identity” information
Identify students with a restriction on photo consent
forms.
Check AUP returns
If you are a teacher that is going to use email in your classroom, it is a good practice to have students create email
accounts for this sole purpose. It is a good practice to keep all student email account information accessible.
This includes Username AND Password information. Let students know that you will check email accounts
periodically to ensure information that is posted is school-related.
