Overview
The purpose of this session is provide an opportunity for teachers to understand the importance of the AUP from the point of view of the tech director, administrators, media coordinator, technology facilitator, classroom teacher, student, and parent.

Goals (What are yours?): Teachers will enforce the AUP and use it to guide their instructional practices and classroom management.
===Outcomes (What can they do): Teachers will successfully monitor and manage the use of digital media both within their classrooms and beyond. Students will learn from their teachers why policies are important and how they will be impact their future educational and career environments.===

Objectives

 * Analyze challenging scenarios involving issues that faculty and staff may face in 1:1 programs
 * Examine the scenarios from various perspectives
 * Consider alternative solutions and their possible outcomes

Groupings
At the table, choose a hat to wear. Each table has hats representing the following roles: assistant principal, media coordinator, ITF, a concerned parent, student, teacher, and technology director. The role indicated on the hat is the role you will play in this activity.

**Activity**

 * After forming your group, a member at the table should draw a scenario from the deck of cards at the table.
 * The ITF (identified by the hat) should read the scenario aloud to the group.
 * Next, each member of the group should analyze the scenario based upon their unique identities and roles within the school community. A group discussion should commence- led by the ITF at the table. Do not simply go around the table giving your opinions but instead challenge each others opinions and try to come to a common consensus regarding how to resolve the issue.
 * At the end of the session, we will have a large group discussion

You may want to analyze the scenario using the following guiding questions. From your viewpoint (identity) consider:
 * What feelings are triggered upon learning of this scenario?
 * What role do personnel that are wearing your "hat" usually play in resolving such an issue? How do district or school policies guide decision making?
 * What biases or personal opinions separate from any school policies do you bring to the table? Have you had prior experience with this sort of issue?
 * Do you need other information to help you be an informed community member? Where could you possibly get this information?

Instructional Strategy/Activities (Lecture, workshop, etc.): Group activity, scribe notes formative assessment, observation follow-up, data collection of infractions/incidents
===Resources (Rooms, space, materials, software, equipment): Staff development room, make cards on these topics: misuse of iMovie, lower level of instruction that only requires students to copy/paste, inappropriate use of computers during class time (emailing, chatting, playing games, off task, etc.), scenario where teacher has YouTube unblocked on her/his computer and then allowing students to use their computer, Top 10 Signs You're in Violation of the AUP===

Lesson:
· The trainers prepares a series of party hats and labels them with the roles the participants will play in the activity. · Teachers have various hats that serve as their point of view for reviewing the information. Teachers are required to process the information from a point of view. This keeps the teachers from having just one generic response. · Teachers have discussion about 1-3 scenario cards. This prepares the teachers to have something to say when they get to the next step. The teacher is not required to write out of an intellectual vacuum. · Scribe Notes: After the discussion, the participants post a response from the point of view they have been assigned. · Follow the posting with another discussion. This requires teachers to interact with content for a third time, a strategy that is in line with brain theory and learning theory. · If no one volunteers, the trainer goes to the postings and pulls one up. This should spark someone in the group to volunteer. Knowing that the trainer will do this keeps teachers accountable.
