Internet use will be integrated into the class learning program and supervised at all times. During class time teachers are responsible for student use of the Internet. However students may accidentally locate material that is offensive or undesirable. Privacy Communication by email has the potential to develop communication skills and increase cross-cultural understanding. It is important to ensure that the privacy of individuals is maintained and undesirable contacts are avoided.
Students use email under supervision and incoming email is monitored by teaching staff.
Before students are permitted to access the Internet they must be familiar with the Student Code of Conduct. All teachers are required to explain these guidelines to their students. Students in Year 3 to Year 6 will be asked to sign a statement indicating that they have read and understood the Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it. I understand that using the Internet at Denistone East Public School must be for educational, research or learning purposes only. Before I begin to use the Internet I will ask permission of the teacher and explain my purpose.
