Thousand Islands Central School District continues to pursue making available advanced technology and increase access to learning opportunities for our students and staff. We believe that technology, including access to the Internet, will help propel our school into the 21 st century by allowing students and staff to access and use information sources from distant computers, communicate and share information with individuals or groups of other students and staff, and significantly expand their knowledge base.
Internet is a tool for life long learning and only begins to open the door to many advanced tools.
With this learning tool students and staff must understand and practice proper and ethical use. All students and new staff must attend in servicing regarding procedures, ethics and security involving using LAN, WAN, Voice Mail and the Internet before receiving an account name and password in order to use the system. B. Computer Network System refers to all items residing on the District s LAN and WAN, including, but not limited to, software, hardware, on-line databases, bulletin boards, and any emerging features and uses of an electronic network. The computer network system can also be used to access e-mail and the Internet. Specific rules governing the useage of e-mail and the Internet, as opposed to the computer network system in general, are indicated as needed.
