Safety & Ethics - Assignment

Norwood's technology policies are documented in the Acceptable Use Policy. You will work with a team to create a presentation on one section of this document.

• Teams will be composed of three students, with one from each homeroom.
• Team membership will be assigned by the instructor.
• Team leaders will meet to divide up the sections of
  the AUP and choose one for their team.
• Each team will have 5 minutes to teach their section of the AUP to the class.
• The team's presentation must include some kind of paper or electronic "deliverable."

What you need to do once teams and AUP sections have been decided upon:

1. Read the Acceptable Use Policy
 

2. Create a presentation with your team to teach your section of the AUP. Your presentation could include any of the following:

• skit or role-play
• poster
• brochure
• slide show

• web site

3. Answer the following questions within your presentation and/or within the online forum:

• Why do we have this part of the AUP?
• How is it intended to help your education?
• How is it intended to keep you safe?

• How is it intended to promote ethical use?

4. Post prompts and relies in the
AUP Discussion Board. Each team is responsible for posting a discussion prompt about their section of the AUP. Each student is responsible for posting at least two responses to other teams' prompts.

5. Create quiz questions: Your team must create questions about your section of the AUP to test your classmates' knowledge. The questions must be typed and emailed to Mr. Orlando who will combine the questions into one long quiz to be given at the end of the chapter.

Teamwork and Roles

Most of the work for this presentation will take place outside of the classroom. You must communicate with your team members through email. All members of the team must work together to create the presentation and must participate during the presentation. Within your team it would be wise to divide up the tasks.

• Team-leader: keeps the team on task, helps the team reach decisions.
• Facilitator: makes sure everyone is participating, initiates e-mail communication, keeps track of time.
• Quiz-maker: types the questions and e-mails them to Mr. Orlando.

If members of your team have skills in certain areas you might want to assign tasks or team roles related to those skills.
