The two major changes I am making are:
- All nine elements of digital citizenship will be intentionally included in the AUP. There will headings for each, and brief explanation of each elements.
- For each element there will be acceptable uses and unacceptable uses in close to direct proportion. I feel strongly that an AUP should be just that. Currently, ours has plenty of unacceptable use examples, but few acceptable use examples.
Fortunately I am in a position at work, where the school looks to me for these issues. Once my AUP is completed, I will make a recommendation to accept it. While it still may be changed a bit with the school's input, it certainly will better address the issue of digital citizenship.
What will you do to educate your faculty and staff about Digital Citizenship?
My main responsibility as the campus technologist is the professional development of our faculty for technology, and I also help steer our vision for technology. This August in in-service, I will include our new stance on digital citizenship and how it pertains to our overall goals as a school. We will spend at least one session training the faculty on the issue, and examples of appropriate and inappropriate use.
