What is an AUP? It stands for Acceptable Use Policy. There are several websites that have discussion forums on what an AUP should include, as well as sample AUPs posted. The issue has expanded exponentially over the past few years, as additional social networking and applications arise. Our students keep up with these (including texting, instant messaging, twittering, etc.) but adults often don't. In order to provide appropriate parameters of use within the public school setting, it is imperative that we understand how the applications are being used and how to limit abuses while protecting the advantages of acceptable use.
Check out this website for some sample policies and articles.
