Today the NOOC “Creating an Acceptable Use Policy Form (1st edition)” starts. It is a learning experience in which you are going to learn what an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is and how to create this form for your school community. Nowadays ICT is something really common in our schools and lessons, and sometimes with it also comes fears and misuses. As teachers, we always try to create safe places without any dangers to our students. So in a digital area it becomes a must to create safe places into the “digital world” our students are living in. Everything will be easier if we have the Acceptable Use Policy Form. You may have a look at the main idea of the course through the following video:
 
 
The NOOC will need an estimated dedication of 3 hours, from today Wednesday, 26th October to Monday, 8th October 2018, at 20:00 hrs (Spanish time).
 
On Tuesday, 2nd October, at 20:00h (18:00 UTC), we will have the Live Event “An AUP, Important or essential?”. Along this Twitter Chat we will be able to discuss the topic by answering the questions and debating about other colleagues opinion.

It will help you achieve level C1 of competence 4.2. "Protecting personal data and digital identity", from Area 4: “Safety” as well as level B1 of competence 2.5. “Netiquette” from Area 2: “Communication and collaboration”.
