This is my first wiki page dedicated to solely one subject. This page will provide a space for me to store and present my work. This will be an enormous advantage advantage for my class since everybody can view it. Ironically this also gives me the chance to learn some new technology.

Responsible Use of the Internet.

The Internet is a worldwide network of individuals, groups, communities and organizations linked by computer and telecommunication lines. Teachers and students may use the Internet to locate information, communicate and collaborate with others in The Codrington School or in other areas of the world and to share learning via online ePortfolios. Students use the Internet for educational purposes in curricular projects and research with the assistance and/or guidance of their teachers. Information and communication technology devices, such as computers, mobile phones, iPod or any electronic storage devices connected to internet cannot be used during break/lunch times except with permission specifically granted by a teacher. Technology users may not access portions of the Internet that do not promote the instructional mission of The Codrington School. The Internet provides access to information (e.g. pornographic materials, vulgarity, gambling, militant/extremist material, hate speech, etc.) that is inconsistent with The Codrington School's mission. It is recognized that some of the above material may be accessed for educational purposes under specific direction of the teacher. Users may not access, store, share, or display such information. The school reserves the right to check and monitor student work, devices regardless of ownership and network activities at any time, and to carry out a comprehensive investigation of any breaches of the school’s Responsible Use Guidelines. Breaches of The Codrington School Responsible Use Guidelines will be treated seriously. The maintenance of the physical and emotional safety of the learning environment is of paramount concern.
