Unit 4 - Student Behavior and Discipline
// Overview: //// This unit covers the legal parameters for school district's ability to discipline students for online activities, including: // //What are the legalities of students posting school projects (including movies) which involve/depict other students to YouTube and other sites when they are posting them outside of school? (SEE UNIT 4) How can we balance the legal requirements of Internet use with practical instruction and supervision/enforcement? "There is a balance between protection and production." (SEE UNITS 4 and 6)//
 * school's ability to discipline students for online activities at school (i.e. derogatory comments online about school and staff, cyberbullying other students, etc.).
 * school's ability to discipline students for online activities outside of school (i.e. derogatory comments online about school and staff on a student's personal blog or myspace page, cyberbullying other students outside of school, etc.).
 * These goals flow nicely from the previous unit. One thought I have is that if it feels too full to address cyberbullying fully in Unit Three, perhaps that could be a more primary focus in this unit.**
