ICT+Academic+Rationale

In creating this ICT policy we first investigated the guidelines for internet and computer use in schools mandated by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. We then looked back at out manifesto of learning and values for Aim High School to decide the direction the policy would take. The resulting Aim High School ICT Policy attempts to balance the need for adherence to regulatory frameworks about ICT use with the philosophy of Aim High School. Please note: the Aim High School Student ICT Use Agreement Appendix on this policy is a very slight adaptation of documents created by the DEECD. We are in no way trying to claim authorship of that document: as I was unsure about how to reference this in the policy, I am stating it upfront here. The Aim High School ICT Policy is my own original work formed from the research and discussions our group have undertaken.
