Technology Responsible Use Policy |
|
|
The Responsible Use Policy (RUP) is the set of RULES you are expected to follow when you are either using AA equipment, the AA network, or AA online resources (like email or Canvas). You are also expected to represent our community in a positive way on all social media, whether it's tied to your AA account or not. |

Outlook 365, the AA email site, is one place you'll communicate with others. It's the best way to get in touch with your teachers outside of class. As long as you are following the Responsible Use Policy's rules, you may email your family and friends (from AA or not). |

Canvas |
|
|
Canvas is where you'll find all of your classwork. Every class has its own little corner of Canvas. Each teacher designs their own course, so every Canvas class will be a little different (just like classes in person!). You'll get to know them all pretty quickly. NOTE: Your Canvas account will take a little longer to get set up than your other accounts. Once you can sign in, you won't see your Courses until the first day of school. |

Google Drive is where you'll do lots of work for class. Google Drive is the cloud storage for files you create in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. You may be collaborating on projects with your classmates through different features of Google Drive. |

Chromebooks |
|
|
This year, you will be issued a Chromebook to use throughout the school day. Each morning you'll pick your Chromebook up from your family head's room before class, and each afternoon you'll bring the Chromebook back and plug it in to charge overnight. You are responsible for this device, so take good care of it! |
