In my school, we have encountered al lot of problems, because the lack of AUP. I am glad to find here some AUP examples. I will present my colleagues these examples in order to make our own AUP.

In my school mobile phones are forbidden for the students... but we know that a lot bring them to the class, and often use them. What to do? I would like to regulate its use, and open the posibility of bringing the smartphones for the school activities (something like BYOD model), but for the rest of the staff this is a sin... for them we should remember the prohibition, and punish everyone who ignores it.
I think that everybody, pupils and teachers, have to open their minds, learn about the technologies posibilities, and adopt safe digital practices. That would improve education quality.

Ufficially we don't use smartphones in our institution for teaching purposes. Sometime we use them to implement some kahoot test or something like that. I'm aware of the security and safety question related to the use of smartphone. I hope that in the future school will take the chance to introduce the digital education in the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, despite our national regulation, the use of smartphones for students is not officialy forbidden. Therefore I try to engage my students sharing some information online that they can reach individually through their personal smartphones. Since I use cloud services no safety incident ever happened. Of course I don't allow any different use of student's smartphones. Anyway, no AUP has ever been implemented by our management, we try to do our best ourselves and each teacher defines his/her own rules. That's surely not the best way to deal with security issues, but that's all we can do.

It is important to educate young students on a properly use of smartphone at school. They have to understand that mobile phone is a useful device if it is used properly in the right time. On the contrary, it could become a source of distraction if it is used during the lesson when the teacher is explaining a topic for example. In this case, it is necessary that the school to have  A.U.P. to punish the student and to ask him to give the device to the teacher after switching off it.

# data[].attributes.body
Here in my country, the Ministry of Education encourages teachers to use mobile phones in class but schools banned their use. It happens because there aren't clear policies on the use of mobile devices. It is supposed that teachers will use mobile phones in class but they must set clear guidelines. However, it is vital to have AUPs in all educational institutions.

We encorage the use of all types of ICT where appropriate and this does include the use of mobile phones in class with teacher permission. We follow guidelines regarding use of ICT etc but as a teacher, you always fear that despite your best efforts, someone will do something that will upset someone and cause trouble.  Education is the key through a supported Acceptable Use Policy which must be adhered to.
A huge fear is inappropriate photos or comments being shared. We've seen a huge interest in SnapChat over the last 2 years. While we can block this in school, we've had to deal with issues from kids using resources similar to this over the years. Issues at home are now being solved in school.

I work in a primary school and usually the pupils do not carry the phone.

Last year I prepared a quiz with Kahoot for my pupils of the fifth class and to participate everyone brought the mobile phone I have tried to to be careful and kept under control mobile phones of pupils. I was lucky because there have been no incidents of any kind.

I do not have an example of AUP to be shared because until now I did not know what it was, but now thanks to this course I think I know what is a AUP.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are not allowed to use their phones in the school.  The few incidents we have had have mainly related to the inappropriate use of a phone in the class (taking video without permission).  This was dealt with under the code of discipline.
We have an AUP in place, although from the videos above its tool long.
We are currently looking at how we would like to better involve the use of ict in the classroom.  At present this involves only staff, although this will probably expand.

In our school students are not allowed to use their mobile phones. They can bring them to school, but they are not allowed to use them during classes. However, there are some teachers who let them use the mobile phones also during their classes in order to find something on the internet. We didn't encounter any incident until now. However, I feel that our students should be taught how to use their mobile phones safely and correct all the time, but more teachers should be involved in order to make this wish real. In our school there is not an AUP, although I reckon that it would be useful in order to make students understand what is acceptable and what is not when using their mobile phones in school.

Thank you for templates and examples of policies. We need to improve yours.

In my school there are very strict rules about smartphones. Students are not allowed to bring their smartphones at school. There are only few exceptions for those who have very particular needs: they have to ask for a permission to the Director of the school and if obtained, they must always turn off the the device when entering in school. In the past, rules weren't so strict, infact we had to face with cyberbulling problems. Now we are not encountering any problem. I would like to change this rules, because I think that the aim of the school is also to educate students to a safe and correct use of smartphone and not to forbid in any way the use of the device. Smartphones are part of our life and everyone has to learn how to safely use them. My objective, as Animatore Digitale of my school, is to introducing byod in classrooms. At the moment we are moving with adoption of G-Suite. After we will deal with the wifi access management. This will be a hard challenge.

Students are not allowed to use smartphones, but I have in mind, according with parents and Staff to create some little experiences in the class. Before we will make clear rules and share / accord them with the parents. It's not official but it's a way we can understand better how to handle, and see what kind of problems need to be risolved before extending this to the whole school.

Thank you for the beneficial videos  reflecting on the concept of AUP and pointing the need for it. Maybe it is  Acceptable Use Policy is introduced in my school as a guidance document that has to be signed and obeyed by students as well as parents. There have been several incidents in school due to lack of official documents as well as workshops where discussions about mobile used are raised. It would be excellent and useful that students participate in creating rules for carrying and using mobile phones.

Hello In our country, 50 Mbps speed has been provided to all schools by the project of FATİH (Improvement of opportunities to increase opportunities) initiated by the Ministry of National Education. The Internet restriction was checked by service providers to protect them. All students and teachers were given tablets. EBA (interactive information network) was prepared and all course contents and training applications were uploaded to internet portal. The student-teacher was set up for free access anywhere. We are the coordinators in the school and give trainings to students and teachers about how to use this technology. Device warranties and technical precautions.

Listenig to speakers, I have understood that our school is not ready to allow students to use smartphones in classrooms. Even in school's library, we should limit students' actions on internet because they do what they want.

In my school the use of mobile phones for  didactical  purposes (BYOD -Bring Your Own Device) is allowed even if we have to get on with the risk of uncontrolled access to the net.

Developing a responsible BYOD approach encourages a responsible  and respectful approach to the net in order to make students learn safe and respectful digital practices and understand how to become good digital citizens using resources to enhance learning.

There are clear rules and safety procedure about the use of mobile phone for didactical purpose at school for both students and teachers and they are shared with students and families at the beginning of the school year .

At the following link there is a good example of AOP

Thanks for this wonderful lectures and videos in this part of the course. I had not heard of Kidblog or Google SafeSearch and I want to tell the teachers in my school about it.

We have not been in trouble with the student's phones in my school. We established new rules this year where students can not use their phones unless authorized by the teacher during school hours. (Not in breake/playtime). We are however zoon going to allow the oldest students (11 and 12 years) to bring their own devices to connect our BYOD network, that was set up this autumn. We will have AUP that both students and parents are going to sign. We can see the opportunity to use technology in school to work with f.ex. software like Kahoot, Edmondo, QR code,  Quizlet etc. We go through rules of conduct for the Internet twice every year, first in the beginning of the schoolyear and then in January. I think it is good idea to allow students to take part in regulating the use of the devices on the Internet because then they will abide by the rules.  We need to emphasize the protocols / rules of conduct and so the students can be good future network members.

as I said previously things are changing  and getting better in our schools in the last years . Thanks to the Italian  National Planning for  the development of  digital learning in school   the law recognize officially the use of mobile phones to didactical  purpose (action #6 piano nazionale scuola digitale Politiche attive per il BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) nevertheless it is sometimes very difficult to convince colleagues of the practical utility of using smartphones in our classes. Some teachers fear the lack of security and also the risk of cyberbulling connected to the use of smartphones. Of course there is the risk of uncontrolled access to the net  The national planning for the improvement of digital technologies  and innovating methodological teaching approach  has helped a lot   by fostering also a responsible BYOD approach. At the beginning of each school year clear rules are shared  with students and families about the use of mobile phone for didactical purpose at school. of course there are clear rules and safety procedures  also for teachers and we as teacher have to control the use of mobile phones at school. We try to encourage a responsible  and respectful approach to the net . Thanks to eTwinning projects I try to develop with my students safe and respectful digital practices . We try to raise students awareness about the risks of the net and the need of  a netiquette. eTwinning projects are a very good way to a practical  education of  our students   connected to these aspects ,  and this by involving also parents  in our activities . As said in https://www.austinisd.org/technology/aup,
the biggest challenge is  to help our students ( and sometimes some colleagues...)" to understand how to be good digital citizens and use resources to enhance learning" and teaching

Mobile phones are not allowed to use at school.

They are supposed to turn them off when they enter school, but they do not. They normally do not use the mobile phone at school. If a student uses the mobile phone inappropriately, he is withdrawn and his parents are notified.

Some teachers are starting to introduce the mobile in their classes. But someone asked if it´s necessary. Why use the mobile if you can use the tablet?

When we start the scholastich year we have the permission of the parents to  take photos an publishing them. Personally I use ABP method and etwinning platform so is very important. We also use moblile phone in class for didactic purpose and we are working on policies on BYOD it means that we are writing down clear rules. Is very important to organiza at school an AUP

# data[].attributes.body
We did have an issue with a student taking photos in a classroom and publishing them on social media. Parents were called in, and new guidelines were then put in place regarding the use of mobile phones. Thinking about our own AUP, it appears it may be too long and not written in an easy to understand manner - might need to be revisited! We are however including the area of copyright when using images, video etc.. which is becoming more of an issue.

# data[].attributes.body
As our school is for 4-14 yrs old students and not all of them have a mobile, we are not allowing to use phones. We are thinking about opening this policy, so we are working on policies about BYOD and AUP

I a working with primary school. This aged children are not use mobile technology at school. But Bangladesh Government's has plan to provide Tab to all primary school children. And government also trying to develop internet infrastructure to every school. Hence, I can apply this learning there. After watching the video, It seems to me school should be internet use policy. Adult site should be blocked with a mechanism. Some rules of using BYOD should place there. Besides this, school should use awareness activity with parents and students.

# data[].attributes.body
We do have WLAN and allow students to use their phone/laptop/tablet. however there are some rules, which they have to follow - otherwise their device might be blocked. in general however the teacher in class is responsible on what students are allowed to do.

# data[].attributes.body
The commonest incidents with these devices are thefts. In our school mobile phones are not allowed to bring, but if students bring them is under their responsibility. However, thefts are a source of problems, and finally all the High School is affected by that.

We are starting to consider the possibility of using mobile phones or tablets in our lessons, so we don't have an AUP yet, but I love the idea of focusing more on behaviour and not on technology. It is necessary to make a reflection altogether (students, parents, staff) and define what type of behaviours are or are not allowed with these devices.

I find much more difficult to encourage safe digital practices by not only students but also teachers, because with students we have time in class to discuss, train, show consequences, etc... but we don't have this time with our peers, so it is important to summarize in a clear document the most important tips in this area and discuss and distribute in departments, at the beginning of the school year, and to each new teacher it arrives at school

# data[].attributes.body
Most kids at our school have and use mobiles at school. Each teacher rules the use in the classroom.

Until today in our school is not allowed the use of smartphones. We are still developing a protocol of action against all these issues. The decision covers a set of schools that form our network of schools and must have common criteria.

I love BYOD with students using own mobile devices.
Most of my colleagues don't.
Occasionally some inappropriate web posting or downloading - but this is likely still possible whatever security system is implemented.
Aim is to raise ethical awareness rather than police.

# data[].attributes.body
We have not encountered incidents, however, different teachers have different points of vue. We have not any policy about the use of mobile phones, only a short mention giving the teacher the option to give the permission to use them. I think we need to define the way they can be use in the school, furthermore, in a VET school since our students will use mobile phones in some professional fields we would have to train them to be competent in the use of them.

We share our AUPs (for students and teachers) in SlideShare in Spanish and Basque language. They are based in the esafetylabel model. (http://www.slideshare.net/EASOPoliteknikoa/documents)

We have a newsletter about eSafety in the school, since most of our students are adults we use the same for teachers and students.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not use smartphones at school except when they need to take a picture of a paper form (e.g., instructions for a Physics experiment if there is no e-format available). Since we use an electronic registry that allows not only for evaluation and absences registration but also to share materials and communicate with students and parents as well as a good internet connection (+laptop and beamer) in each classroom and 3 computer labs in the school, the use of smartphones is not very useful. All subjects related to school (students, teachers, staff, school assistant, parents) should be included in the AUP and be aware of it. A common protocol regarding safety use and rules to avoid threats should be disseminated among all these subjects

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, we have had cases of cyberbullying in our school, with students recording other students during recess. Stealing is not common but it did happen. Despite these facts, and despite an official ban on the use of smartphones at school, everybody has one, and the mobile is switched on and in everybody's hand during breaks - even in the teachers' hands - which turns the ban into a joke.
Phones can be an important resource in teaching. I allow their use when I need them to download the Edmodo app or when they need to consult a dictionary. We have also used them with QR codes or to record something that was read aloud in English. My students must put their mobiles away when we are not using them.
They cannot log onto the school wi-fi network either, because the system would crash, but it is high time there was an AUP.

In my school students are not allowed to carry their mobile phones at school, they are still too young as I work in aprimary school, and I think this is completely unnecessary

At the school where I teach, phones are not allowed during hours to be open, but there are students who do not respect the rules and  they use the phones for other purposes (music, games) not to learn.
Those who are discovered,  are  confiscated phones and they can take after finishing school.
There are students who   found  through various sources the  Wi-Fi password and changed the password, have restricted the number of users.
Parents do not agree with the use of modern technology (phones and tablets) in the class, because not everyone can afford to buy such devices.
We have some  rules in the ICT laboratory , but not all students respect these rules.

In my school the students aren’t allowed to bring cell phones and teachers don’t use student’s devices for teaching. For this reason we do not have a code of conduct AUP.

In Italy we had great problems in the past because students were not allowed to bring mobile phones at schools. Nowadays this is slowly changing thanks to new methodologies, such as "Flipped classroom", so teachers are asking to experience the use of smartphones or other devices in the class to enhance learning and teaching. Actually we haven't got an AUP - there is a simple rule: "students are not allowed to use smartphones at school, except for didactic use and with a written request done by the teachers who want to use them in class and an explicit oral/written permission of the Headmaster".
