My friend and colleague, Tech Director Jen Hegna over in the Byron (MN) schools developed this set of guidelines for the staff in her district. (She was motivated, she said, partially by posts here and here on the Blue Skunk. Cool!) Anyway she's given permission for me to share her work here and says readers are welcome to use and adopt as well:
Guidelines for Educators Using Social Networking Sites August 2009 (DRAFT, DRAFT, DRAFT)
A directory of educational games, interactives, and activities vetted by veteran teachers to ensure that they meet educational guidelines and standards. Although the directory is advertisement free, the sites linked from it are usually not.
Great resource for teaching journalism ethics for a high school journalism and/or broadcasting class. Good firsthand, industry examples and guidelines.
"The Volume Purchase Program makes it easy for educational institutions to purchase iOS apps in volume and distribute those apps to users. The Volume Purchase Program also allows app developers to offer special pricing for purchases of 20 apps or more."
Great! We use this with our iPod carts. It is easy to use after the initial set up. Fits the bill for schools that have to follow certain finance guidelines/documentation.
