Handbook

July 2014

This handbook is intended to provide essen al informa on about the use
of student Tablet PC computers in Klein ISD. The one-to-one student and
teacher Tablet PC program provides exci ng learning opportuni es that
incorporate the use of technology in the classroom and at home.
Please read the following important guidelines in this handbook. It is
important that parents/guardians and students understand and abide by
the policies and procedures set forth in this handbook.
The following condi ons are a summary of some of the most important
concepts outlined in this handbook.

• Accidental Damage and Protec on Coverage is recommended and
can be purchased for $60 per year. Tablet PC damage that is either
inten onal or the result of gross neglect is not covered by Accidental
Damage and Protec on Coverage. See Pages 8 and 9 for details.

• An annual $350 Tablet PC Security Deposit is required for all students
whose parent or guardian chooses not to purchase the Accidental
Damage and Protec on Coverage. See Pages 8 and 9 for details.

• There are fees associated with damaging the Tablet PC if the Accidental
Damage and Protec on Coverage is not purchased. These fees are
listed on Page 9 of this Tablet PC Handbook.

• Klein ISD Tablet PCs not returned when students leave for the summer
or withdraw from school will be considered stolen. The charges will
be fi led.

• Internet content is fi ltered on all Klein ISD computers. This includes use
at school and off campus. See Page 2 for details.

• Parents are ul mately responsible for all ac vi es involving the Klein
ISD Tablet PC while the student is off campus. See Page 3 for details.

• If a Tablet PC needs to be repaired or is lost, the student must report
the need for repair or replacement to the campus repair center as
soon as possible. The student’s report must be fi led and the required
paperwork completed at the campus repair center within 5 school days
from the  me of breakage or loss. See Pages 3 and 5 for details.

• This handbook should be read carefully by students and parents/
guardians. The agreement form included in this Tablet PC Handbook
is a copy of what you and your student must sign prior to the student
receiving the Tablet PC.

Acceptable Use: All students must comply at all  mes with the Klein ISD Student
Guidelines for Acceptable Use of Technology in Pages 11-14 of this Tablet
PC Handbook and in the KISD Student Handbook along with the guidelines
outlined in this Tablet PC Handbook. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary
ac on and could end the rights of possession eff ec ve immediately.

Liability: If the Tablet PC is accidentally damaged, lost or stolen, the parent/
guardian may be responsible for the reasonable cost of repair or the
replacement value on the date of the loss if the op onal Accidental Damage
and Protec on Coverage is not purchased and in other instances outlined in
this handbook. In the case of the , the parent/guardian or the student must
immediately no fy school administra on. If the Tablet PC is lost or damaged
due to gross negligence, the parent/guardian will be responsible for the
reasonable cost of replacement. Tablet PCs not returned, for any reason, at
the end of the school year or when a student withdraws will be considered
stolen. The charges will be fi led.

Repossession: If the student and/or parent/guardian does not  mely and fully
comply with all terms of this agreement, Klein ISD has the right to come to you
to pick up the property at any  me.

Scheduled Evalua ons: Each Tablet PC may be evaluated each six weeks or
randomly checked to verify condi on and compliance with district policy.

Terms of Klein ISD Tablet PC Use

Various security measures are used on Klein ISD computers. Security measures
are not only used to protect Klein ISD assets, but measures are also taken to
protect Klein ISD students. Two primary forms of security exist:

Computer Security: Security is in place on each system to prevent certain
ac vi es. These include, but are not limited to, downloading, installing
so ware, removing so ware, and changing system se ngs. See Student
Responsibili es on Page 5 for addi onal informa on.

Filtering So ware: Internet fi ltering so ware automa cally fi lters all access to
the Internet. While at home Internet content will con nue to be fi ltered while
students are using their Klein ISD Tablet PC. Since no fi ltering so ware can
fi lter 100% of improper content, parents are responsible for monitoring their
child’s access to the Internet when the student is at home.

• Students will be expected to use some Web 2.0 and social media tools
as part of their course curriculum under the supervision and guidance of
their teachers. These tools may include SharpSchool, Parent Connec on,
Klein Private Label Wiki, Project Share, Blackboard Learn, Learning.com
Sky, and others.

• Students use these tools to meet the communica on, collabora on,
crea on, research, and informa on fl uency skills required by the Texas
Essen al Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). These tools are hosted on the
Internet, making some student work and informa on rela ng to students
visible to parents, guardians, rela ves, and in some circumstances, other
Internet users around the world.

• When using Web 2.0 and social media tools, safeguards are in place to
protect and assure the safety of students. In some instances, individual
or iden fi able profi les may be used that are open to the public. Public
viewing or commen ng might occur on district-approved sites. Classroom
lessons or projects may require publicly iden fi able student informa on
to be made available on the Internet.

• Use of these tools must be in accordance with Klein ISD’s Policies and
Procedures including but not limited to the Acceptable Use Procedures.

Social Media Guidelines

Internet Access from Home

Parental Responsibili es

In order to access the Internet from home, you must have an Internet service
provider. Students can access that Internet service in the two ways.

1. Using an Ethernet cable, the Tablet PC can be “hardwired” to a switch,
hub, or router.

2. If you have an exis ng wireless access point, the Tablet PC can join your
wireless network.

• Parents are responsible for monitoring the student’s use of the Tablet PC
while at home and away from campus at all  mes.

• Parents must review with their student the Student Guidelines for
Acceptable Use of Technology in Pages 11-14 of this Tablet PC Handbook
and in the KISD Student Handbook.

• Parents are responsible for monitoring their student’s ac vi es on the
Internet on a regular basis.

• Only a Klein ISD Tablet PC will be permi ed for use at school or on the
district network. Students may not bring in or set up their own network.
District rules also prohibit connec ng to the Klein network with your
personal device(s) (i.e. smart phone, iPad, Kindle, etc.).

• Students may have no expecta on of privacy on any informa on stored
on, accessed from, or used with the Tablet PC. The Tablet PC belongs
to Klein ISD, and appropriate district and school offi cials may monitor a
computer or access its contents at any  me.

• All students will be issued a Klein ISD case with an iden fi ca on tag. The
iden fi ca on tag must remain on the case at all  mes. If the iden fi ca on
tag is lost, the student must immediately no fy the Repair Center.

• If technical issues arise, students must no fy a teacher or the campus
repair center immediately.

• Each Tablet PC is iden fi ed by a specifi c number and assigned to an
individual student. To ensure that a student always has his assigned Tablet
PC, Tablet PCs should never be switched from case to case.

• Under no circumstances may Tablet PCs be le in unsupervised areas.
Unsupervised areas include but are not limited to the school grounds
and campus, the commons, the cafeteria, locker rooms, library, unlocked
classrooms, hallways, and any place outside of school that is not the
student’s home. Any computer le in these areas will be collected by staff
and taken to the campus repair center. Disciplinary ac on may be taken
for leaving a Tablet PC in unsupervised loca ons.

• Files may not be deleted by anyone other than the original creator/owner.
Dele on of certain fi les can aff ect the performance of the Tablet PC, and
can interfere with the student’s ability to complete class work, which may
aff ect the student’s grades.

• Students may not download or save any music, games, or unauthorized
programs to the Tablet PC. See Page 5 for details and consequences.

• All students have access to a network drive on which to store data. It is
the responsibility of the student to see to it that cri cal fi les are backed up
regularly on the network drive.

• All use of the Internet must comply with district guidelines. Log fi les are
maintained on each Tablet PC with a detailed history of all Internet sites
accessed. All student fi les are subject to be reviewed.
