Great idea r.e. the fake Facebook account - I bet *that* made them sit up and take notice! :-) Thanks for the link to your E-safety booklet - shall explore further...

In much the same way I collaboratively built these agreements with my Twitter network, I'll be seeking feedback from staff and students at the Academy via the forums on the Learning Platform and in face-to-face meetings. Thanks for the link to Flickr guidelines. :-) Excellent point about such agreements and policy documents being about conversation, Josie.

I'm overhauling our AUP at the moment and I like the different options you provide, especially the attempted definitions of what is inappropriate and the dangers of digital online. I did a talk to senior school boys and girls at Berkhamsted last term and have turned one version of it into a Flash based booklet on Issuu.com. You can find it @: http://issuu.com/svanstraten/docs/web_security_for_issuu I think this is one of those issues that we need to keep returning to, as Josie has said. Maybe we should make the list of inappropriate behaviour the wallpaper for all students? With the permission of SMT I created a fake female figure on Facebook and got a few older students to befriend me. They were shocked when I revealed 'Karen's' true ID in assembly! The same was true with 6th form mobile numbers, which I harvested from openly accessible pages on Facebook. They made a lovely numerical animation that greeted them as they came into the Monday morning assembly. Once I've got the new AUP sorted (and mine at the mo is including the dangers of blogging on educational issues but not offending your employer) I'll be thinking about the next shock and awe tactics to raise student awareness of web safety and etiquette. All the best, Sacha Hi Doug,

What I worry about, and why I'm always loath to give model documents myself without framing, is that at the end of the day it doesn't matter how wonderful your policy is if no one actually reads or cares about them. IMHO the conversation around AUPs needs to focus primarily on the process rather than the content. How do we develop these documents in ways that are meaningful to our educational communities? How do we get our communities to actually read and think about what we are outlining in these agreements - their rights and responsibilities concerning community provided and shared resources and connectivity. How do we make sure that engagement is meaningful, ie effective, rather than tick-box, active and thoughtful rather than passive. In this respect community guidelines might provide a useful supplementary model - I like the Flickr example http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne Hi Doug, and cheers for the examples.
