Technology Policy for Administrators


Does your technology policy need an update?


o Focus on educational and institutional goals.

o Target desired student and staff behaviors rather than specific types of technology.

o Refrain from addressing issues covered in other policies.

o Emphasize professional development.

o Provide equal access for all students.

o Ensure that infrastructure will meet present needs and can grow as necessary.

o Communicate with parents

o Comply with state and federal regulations, such as FIPPA or PIPEDA.

o Conduct a technology security audit to identify vulnerabilities.

Set technology priorities:


"Highly restrictive Internet and mobile policies in the school environment provide only a false sense of protecting kids.“

o Recognize that mobile devices and social media are not only prevalent but have the potential to engage students.

o Remember that behaviours such as cyberbullying, copyright infringement, and plagiarism, are addressed in other policies and need not be addressed in AUPs.

o Teach students skills for safe and appropriate technology use inside and outside the school environment.
