BACKGROUND

Alberta Learning recommends that Boards establish policy guidelines regarding the use of electronic media, computer technology, and internet services for students in the classroom and for staff for instructional purposes. Evergreen CSRD No. 2 wishes to allow its students to be able to access curriculum based information resources. To this end, the Division permits its students to access the Internet. The responsible use of electronic media, computer technology, and internet services is the overriding goal of this policy. This interconnected worldwide web of computers can provide the students with access to the most recent research, statistics and opinions. However, electronic media, computer technology and internet services can also provide the students with access to less than desirable material.

POLICY STATEMENT

Students and staff will have access to electronic media, computer technology, and internet services to provide the educational opportunities within the school division.
Evergreen CSRD No. 2 expects appropriate use of electronic media, computer technology, and internet services.
