• Students will be expected to use some Web 2.0 and social media tools
as part of their course curriculum under the supervision and guidance of
their teachers. These tools may include SharpSchool, Parent Connec on,
Klein Private Label Wiki, Project Share, Blackboard Learn, Learning.com
Sky, and others.
• Students use these tools to meet the communica on, collabora on,
crea on, research, and informa on
fl
uency skills required by the Texas
Essen al Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). These tools are hosted on the
Internet, making some student work and informa on rela ng to students
visible to parents, guardians, rela ves, and in some circumstances, other
Internet users around the world.
• When using Web 2.0 and social media tools, safeguards are in place to
protect and assure the safety of students. In some instances, individual
or iden
fi
able pro
fi
les may be used that are open to the public. Public
viewing or commen ng might occur on district-approved sites. Classroom
lessons or projects may require publicly iden
fi
able student informa on
to be made available on the Internet.
• Use of these tools must be in accordance with Klein ISD’s Policies and
Procedures including but not limited to the Acceptable Use Procedures.
