Codes of Practice

Some points to consider here:

• Check last year's post explaining what a code of practice is.
• Remember that you need to provide evidence of how you have "followed the rules" in your code(s) of practice.

Areas that seem important to me are

• Privacy
• Copyright
• Appropriate language and use
• Teacher professional standards.

Sources of information include:

• Teacher Union guidelines for Web 2 safety for teachers
• Netsafe considerations for blogging and Web 2 in schools
• The use policy of whichever Web 2 tool you decide to use (Blogger, Facebook, Bebo...)
• School ploicy on our web presence - am trying to track this down and will let you know when I have found it.
