B.Y.O.T. Contract
Protocol
for the Use of Technology on Enota Campus
As
new technologies continue to change the world in which we live, they also
provide many new and positive educational benefits for classroom instruction.
To encourage this growth, students in select classes may now bring their own
technology.
Definition of
“Technology”
For
purposes of BYOT, “Technology” means a privately owned wireless
and/or portable electronic hand held equipment that includes, but is not
limited to, existing and emerging mobile communication systems and smart
technologies, portable internet devices, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs),
hand held entertainment systems or portable information technology systems that
can be used for word processing, wireless Internet access, image
capture/recording, sound recording and information transmitting/receiving/storing,
etc.
Internet
Only
the internet gateway provided by the school may be accessed while on campus.
Personal internet connective devices such as but not limited to cell phones /
cell network adapters are not permitted to be used to access outside internet
sources at any time.
Security
and Damages
Responsibility
to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. The Gainesville City School System, nor its staff or employees, is not
liable for any device stolen or damages on campus. It is recommended that
skins (decals) and other custom touches are used to physically identify your
device from others. Additionally, protective cases for technology are
encouraged.
B.Y.O.T.
Enota Student Agreement
The
use of technology to provide educational material is not a necessity but a
privilege. A student does not have the right to use his or her laptop, cell
phone or other electronic device while at school. When abused, privileges will
be taken away. When respected, they will benefit the learning environment as a
whole.
Students
and parents/guardians participating in B.Y.O.T. must adhere to the Student Code
of Conduct, as well as all Board policies, particularly Internet Acceptable Use
and Internet Safety. Additionally, technology:
·

campuses and while riding school buses.

or tests, or for non-instructional purposes (such as making personal phone
calls and text/instant messaging).

post photographic images or video of a person, or persons on campus during
school activities and/or hours.

The school's network filters will be
applied to one's connection to the internet and attempts will not be made to
bypass them.
·
Bringing on premises or infecting the
network with a Virus, Trojan, or program designed to damage, alter, destroy, or
provide access to unauthorized data or information is in violation of Internet
Acceptable Use Policy.
·
Processing or accessing information on
school property related to “hacking”, altering, or bypassing network security
