Social Media & Web 2.0 Regulations
The Burleson ISD understands the importance of teachers, students and parents engaging, collaborating, learning, and sharing in digital environments. To this aim, Burleson ISD has developed the following regulations to provide direction for instructional employees, students and the school district community when participating in online social media and Web 2.0 online activities. Whether or not an employee chooses to participate in a blog, wiki, online social network or any other form of online publishing or discussion outside of the work environment, it is his or her own decision. Free speech protects educators who want to participate in social media, but courts have ruled that schools can discipline teachers if their speech, including online postings, disrupts school operations. The Burleson Independent School District social media regulations encourage employees to participate in social computing and strive to create an atmosphere of trust and individual accountability, keeping in mind that information produced by Burleson Independent School District teachers and students is a reflection on the entire district and is subject to the district's Acceptable Use Policy. By accessing, creating or contributing to any blogs, wikis, podcasts or other social media for classroom or district use, you agree to abide by these regulations. Please read them carefully before posting or commenting on any blog or creating any classroom blog, wiki and/or podcast.
