 Presentations Round 2:
 * We looked at some definitions and samples of AUPs today. In principle I think that something like this could work in a school. However, I have some issues with it and just do not think it is the best option we have out there. Can we realistically ask students to sign contracts asking them to use the internet responsibly? Yes, I know we're talking about including the parents on this as well, but that just seems like a bit much just to ensure the internet is used responsibly at school.[[image:4052848608_b86dc4b5d1.jpg width="300" height="222" align="right"]] As well, the question arises as to whether or not a student in high school is mature enough to honour and understand the importance of signing a binding, legal contract. Some students would be responsible about it, but I just feel like, again, we're going to a lot of work for something that students may not appreciate fully. I just think that with all that being said, and all the legal implications of the whole ordeal, we're just asking too much of our students.
