Acceptable Use Policy: Two school years on.




In the near two academic years that the AUP has been in force, it has stood up to the ebb and flow of issues raised in a School.

There was a rash of Facebook incidents which were easily covered by the terms. Twitter has taken root amongst teenagers despite the hostage to fortune that it entails. Again the AUP quickly dealt with these issues: the concept of a School Community that exists outside of physical locations has taken root.

The rise of Smartphones and tablets has been easily accommodated.To date there hasn't been an incident that would case me to update it. 

Unfortunately it seems a step to far for most schools who continue to churn out semi-legal commandments which thunder about not a lot but at great length.
