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

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
