Fort La Bosse School Division No. 41 has established an Internet site which connects schools and the division office to the World Wide Web. This network connection is provided for teachers and students to support instruction, conduct research and communicate with Internet users throughout the world. It is a general expectation that Fort La Bosse School Division No. 41 computer resources are to be used in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and legal manner in accordance with the mission statement of the School Division. Before obtaining access, the student must also attend an orientation session to receive guidance in the use of the Internet for educational purposes.
Telecommunications opens classrooms to electronic information resources available around the globe.
We consider the Internet, and other electronic information sources, to be extensions of the school library. The library serves as a point of open access to information and ideas and as a learning laboratory for students as they acquire critical thinking and problem solving skills. Home pages will be developed by the school division and schools to guide the student to various appropriate research areas. Inappropriate and other questionable materials do exist on the Internet. Schools will develop school procedures to reduce the chances of student accessing inappropriate materials on school computers and to promote the use of the Internet as an educational resource.
