  9. What constitutes inappropriate use? • Using devices to record, transmit, or post photos or videos to Facebook, Youtube, etc., • Taking pictures of students and sending to friends • Using the device for purposes other than education

  10. Other information you need to know • Every student who participates in BYOD will need to read and sign a student/parent user agreement that will be turned into your child’s homeroom teacher • The student is responsible for their device at all times (cases or covers are recommended) *Cobb County is not liable for stolen, lost or damaged devices • Student is responsible for proper care of device • When the device is not planned to be used, students must turn off device

  11. The school reserves the right to inspect a student’s personal device if there is a reason to believe that the student has violated Board policies, administrative procedures, school rules, or has engaged in other misconduct while using their personal devices AND any violation of policies, procedures, or rules may result in the loss of use of the device

  12. Thank you for coming tonight and please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.At Vaughan, we envision a learning environment where technology is a part of us, not apart from us.
