Introduction
The culture of 十大最大的网络彩票平台 (hereinafter “Stepinac”) relies on computer technology and electronic devices as an important resource tool for the students’ education. Technology includes, but is not limited to, computers, tablets, cell phones, computer networks, the Internet and electronic mail. The Acceptable Use Policy is designed to set a framework for responsible and ethical use of technology, protecting the privacy and ensuring the safety of our students and teachers. The Acceptable Use Policy applies to all technology resources brought onto campus. It is each student’s responsibility to follow the guidelines for appropriate and acceptable use.

Philosophy
Access to Stepinac’s computer network and Internet enables students to access their digital textbooks; explore libraries, databases, web pages, and other online resources; and exchange information / communicate with people around the world. Stepinac expects its instructional staff to blend thoughtful use of educational technologies and the Internet throughout the curriculum to improve instruction and learning, and to provide exemplary guidance to students
about responsible digital citizenship.

Educational Purposes
Stepinac provides access to its network and computer technologies to its students specifically for educational purposes. Students are expected to use Stepinac’s network and computer technologies to support classroom activities, perform educational research and/or gather college and career information. Misuse of Stepinac’s network and computer technologies may lead to discipline of the offending student. Stepinac reserves the right to restrict access to its
network or computer technologies for educational or safety reasons.

Content, Filtering and Protection
In accordance with the The Child Online Protection Act (COPA), Stepinac educates its staff and students regarding appropriate online behavior, including use of email and other online resources, to ensure Internet safety. Stepinac has also deployed firewalls, filtering technology and other protection measures to restrict access to inappropriate content such as those that are illegal, obscene or harmful to minors. While every effort is made to provide the most secure and optimal learning environment, it is not possible to absolutely prevent access (accidental or otherwise) to inappropriate content. If you come across any inappropriate content or communication notify an administrator and/or the Technology Office immediately. Students may make written requests to the Technology Office if they believe the content filter is blocking access to appropriate sites.

If reasonable belief exists that the student has violated the terms of this agreement, or other school policy, the student's device may be inspected and/or confiscated.
