2. Background
• CLV: 2,200+ students, 120 teachers
• Approx 1500 PCs on site
• 300 mobile tablets in Year 7 (expected to
double in September)
• 3 Web Designers
• CLV has been a Frog School since September
2008
3. Story
• Social Networking was a big buy-in for us
• Benefits of SN:
– Communication, both non-directed and directed
– Student Voice
– Responsibility
4. With great power comes great responsibility
With every PowerPoint comes an obvious pop-culture reference
5. Trust
• We wanted to encourage responsibility,
not limit student access.
• Social Networking exists in the ‘real world’,
we should help our students learn how to use
it
• Of course, there’s always some who will turn
to the dark side…
7. Acceptable Use Policy
• All students when first starting at CLV are
introduced to the computers and our AUP
• The AUP is a contract with the students
explaining:
– how they should use the school’s computers
– what is acceptable on the internet
– when they can play games, etc…
8. Acceptable Use Policy
• There are consequences for breaking the
AUP just as there are for any inappropriate
behaviour in school.
10. The Banned List
• Students who break the AUP are added to
the group
• A Frog IF Brick surrounding each fun section
on the VLE prevents those students accessing
that resource.
15. Impact
• Immediate
• Solves behaviour issues quickly
• Students know why they are banned
• Classroom teachers don’t become involved,
allows them to avoid arguments of behaviour
16. Conclusion
• We feel it is right to encourage
responsibility
• We need to also ensure our students are
respectful to each other and to staff when
online.
17. Summary
• Social Networking provides us with the
opportunity to foster the culture we want.
• The Banned List allows us to prevent misuse
when a student doesn’t live up to that trust.
