Rosedale Acceptable Use of Technology Policy

Technology at school plays an important role in teaching and learning. Rosedale school provides students with opportunities to use technology to support and enhance their learning. There are computers in all classrooms and in the library, as well as wireless laptops, iPod, IPad, a class set of alpha smart keyboards, smart boards, and projectors for presentations.

We also have digital cameras that can be accessed by students. Our school network of computers is ever increasing and represents a substantial financial investment. It is essential that students using computers and other digital tools do so in a respectful and responsible fashion at all times. Please refer to the Calgary Board of Education website (www.cbe.ab.ca) for acceptable use policy.

Rosedale School is a ‘Cell Phone Free” school. Cell phones are to be kept in students’ lockers unless given specific permission by teachers that the device may be used in class. Cell phones may be used before and after school outside of the building.

Any video/media capture, photos or sound recording are not permitted except where express permission has been granted by teachers and persons specific to the event. School devices will be assigned for school tasks.

Rosedale School retains ownership of all media with the exception of recording of public events. Relatives and guests are permitted to take pictures or record events unless otherwise stated.
