(SEE UNIT 7) Help us write/revise good AUPs (and provide samples) which can include good working definitions (for policy inclusion, etc.) of the various Web 2.0 tools (wikis, blogs, etc.).

 * Why is the AUP important? How often should it be presented to students and staff?
 * Samples of current AUPs among NH schools
 * Primer on acceptable use policies, RSA 194:3-d, any regs?
 * Need to work in the ICT literacy requirements in Ed 306.42
 * accomodations, accessibility, assistive technology, universal design
 * Internet log file retention
 * Storage of student and staff digital files
 * **All good questions... though it looks like a lot of material to cover in one unit. Accommodations, AT and universal design are all pretty big topics, for example. You may need to revisit your goals and consider what is truly critical for participants to take away from this course and just focus on that... and/or, can some of these topics/concepts fit in other sessions as optional/additional content? For example, you touch on AUPs in Unit 2, so if you have additional content on that perhaps it could go there. Also, I'm thinking you'll also have participants complete and submit their final project in this last unit as well?**
