An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) outlines the rules for responsible computer use and obtaining permission to publish student work online. AUPs ensure student safety by only using first names without pictures on student websites that are moderated by teachers. Publishing student work gives students a voice, lets others see their work, and allows students to get feedback and share with family. The AUP form requires parent permission for a student's written work, photos, voice, and videos to appear on classroom websites or podcasts published on the web.
