Current AUP: The following excerpt from the [|current AUP] demonstrates the policy's limitations for web2.0 applications: "Students and staff will be allowed to produce materials for electronic publication on servers for educational purposes. administration, teachers, and staff will monitor these materials to ensure compliance with content standards."

Meetings: Skype meetings were held on January 26, February 4, February 17, March 11, & March 22. The policy was evaluated and edited using Google Documents.The committee, led by Tony Baldisaro, consisted of several Technology Coordinators, integrators, and teachers.

On March 24, the [|Exeter School Board/SAU 16 Responsible Computer, Network, and Internet Use](RUP) document was formally presented to SAU16 Policy Committee. The policy was approved on March 25, 2010 and is now in the approval process with individual school boards.

History: The committee explored various Acceptable Use Policies including the following: 1. An example of what not to do: [|Technology Ethics: AUPs- Cell Phones & Social Networking in Schools] - Mogadore Local Schools, Ohio. 2. Boise, Idaho: Independent School District of Boise, Idaho. [|Network Acceptable Use Policy] and [|Student Internet Access Restriction Form] - hesitant to use "restriction" 3. Recommended as a document to evaluate, discussed "restrictive" language: [|Acceptable Use Procedure, Somersworth School School District Computer System] 4. David Warlick's [|School AUP 2.0] site, more particularly the [|AUPs: A Layering Recipe] 4 .[|Manitou Springs School District #14], we used google documents to begin placing our thoughts and concerns.

After evaluating and discussing several of these policies, the committee decided to model the district's new Responsible Use Policy after the [|Manitou Springs School District #14] document. More particularly, in developing our new AUP/RUP, the committee investigated and decided to adopt [|David Warlick's] [|AUPs: A Layering Recipe]method "to embrace the three dimensional nature of today’s info-environment, creating a multi-layered Acceptable Use Document." As part of our work on the AUP/RUP committee, and as members of the PLP cohort, the Team That Tony Forgot decided that our group would develop a project to address the following pieces of [|Warlick's Layer 3: the AUP Encyclopedia]:
 * Educate our colleagues about the new AUP and to the potential web2.0 tools available.
 * Promote and inform our colleagues of best-practice applications of web2.0 tools.
 * Support and promote the institution's policies for the acceptable use of its information infrastructure.
