1. RESPONSIBLE USE POLICY
PURPOSE STATEMENT
According to the current law of Education (LOE 2/2006) one of the competences the students
need to master is the Digital Competence. Bearing in mind that we are in the 21st
century
surrounded by all kind of digital devices it is our duty as teachers to show our students how to
use them properly.
Our school provides the students and teachers access to technology tools and Internet
resources and it promotes responsible, ethical and appropriate use of technological devices.
To best prepare our students for their future, we want to provide rich learning activities
through this medium, as well as others. The more opportunities students have to share their
learning, the more opportunities they have to be successful.
The students of the 3rd
year of ESO of IES BADAIA BHI use technology to learn, to make
presentations (www.prezi.com), to create short stories (www.powtoon.com), to make a news
programme (www.youtube.com, digital cameras and smartphones) and as a means to
communicate with other students around the world (pen-pals) through emails and video chat
conferences (www.skype.com, www.appear.in.com)
These tools are the ones most frequently used in our classroom. Others may be introduced
throughout the year with proper guidance. We will create a safe online environment for all of
our students.
ACCEPTABLE USE: HOW TO BE A DIGITAL CITIZEN
Information and technology is used in a safe, legal, and responsible way. It is important that
we educate our students on what this means before we start using technology. The
conversation must continue throughout our work. Here are the guidelines to be a digital
citizen:
1. The use of the Internet and network resources must be in support of the educational
programs.
2. Respect Yourself. Online names that are appropriate will be selected, the information and
images that are posted online will be considered by the student and the teacher.
3. Protect Yourself. Personal details will not be published.
4. Respect Others. Hate mail, discriminating remarks, profanity, inappropriate language and
offensive communications are prohibited.
5. Bullying, Cyberbulling and harassment is prohibited.
5. Students will be responsible for damages to equipment, systems and software resulting
from deliberate or willful acts.
6. Protect Others. Unauthorized access, deletion or modification of passwords, files and data
belonging to other users is prohibited. Staff and students should report any security problems
to school administration.
7. All use of websites, books, media, etc. will be suitably cited.
Failure to follow the procedures and prohibitions listed above may result in the loss of the
right of access to network resources and/or disciplinary action.

2. PRIVACY AND PROTECTION MEASURES
We have developed our new school website (https://sites.google.com/a/badaiabhi.net/ies-
badaia-bhi/) and blog (http://iesbadaiabhi.blogspot.com.es/ ). This gives us the opportunity to
communicate with our school community. Since our school hosts these websites, we are able
to ensure they are only viewable by the groups that we choose. Students and teachers will also
have the option to make any pages or post “private”, only viewable to those they choose.
Although there would eventually be an opportunity to open these sites globally, we want to
ensure that we are thoughtful of every step in the process.
Students are expected to protect the security of their personal information, passwords and
identity by keeping them confidential.
This responsible use policy (RUP) supports our vision of technology use and upholds in our
students a strong sense of digital citizenship and identity.
For more information on the tools that will be used, the aforementioned websites can be
visited. Further details on state standards on education can be found on the “Ley Orgánica
2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación.”
For further information please contact the Principal of the school [email address].
