Best of luck with your strategic planning. It sounds like you have a well-thought out process planned. Here are a couple of Disrupting Class resources we found useful to share with our faculty:

Hi,
We do enforce it and the period of time is 10 minutes. I'd like for it to be shorter, but the faculty screamed about it as it is. They just can't imagine our little darlings doing anything like snooping.
Good success,

Any replies to this query, Demetri? The LFCDS Development Office is looking to set up a Facebook presence and wants to know policy best/practice from other schools.
This group is a place for development, fundraisers, and alumni officers to discuss and use social networking technologies.
At my previous school (boarding high school), we enforced automatic screen locking after a ~15 minute period of inactivity on all faculty and staff to protect the integrity of confidential and sensitive information to which their accounts had access…
We are late to the game, but Lake Forest Country Day School is considering Disrupting Class as a faculty reading selection this coming summer. Given the rich discussion here, I am curious whether any other schools are considering the same. It would…
Yes, Mara (hi!) & I attended a press conference Nicholas Negroponte held with (then Lt.) Governor Pat Quinn at the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago in November 2007 just prior to the Thanksgiving 2007 Give 1, Get 1 program for OLPC XO-1 laptops.…

- Keith, when you purchase IT hardware and/or software do you bundle your requirements with other schools to help reduce costs. All of the schools here in South Carolina buy individually and thus receive no quantity discounts. I have not run across any schools that bundle requirements.

Thanks for your input! We have a liberal filtering policy which only blocks, porn, gambling and hate sites. My teachers have been upset because they do not want to be the Facebook "police". We set up a disciplinary OU that restricts access to any fu…
We don't block facebook at our school. I actually just did a history research paper with my students where they created Facebook fan pages for early 19th century reformers. Anyway, during class, when kids are using their computers, I circle around t…
This is a reaction to my earlier video post about using Facebook in the classroom.
Users and Administrators of Moodle Instructional Management System
Is anyone using, have used, or have any opinions on the HP tablets?
I have a copy of their white paper on online gaming and how it actually improves a student's understanding of civics.
Nice way to sum it up, Joseph. I enjoyed the exchange here. I agree w/you on cars in my comment above, but the way. Cars certainly allow us to go places and do things that simply are not possible without them (kinda like the Internet I suppose). My…
Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
Your slideshow is great---to the point! I may be using part of it---thanks!
How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
