We also have a strict Acceptable Use Policy and ban cell phones from campus
during the school day. We have had several students lose their computer
privileges for abuse. They learn pretty quickly that it interferes with
their ability to complete assignments during the school day, and word gets
around...

Cell phones are not allowed in the school building. They may turn them
off and place them in their backpack during the day, but the backpacks
are to be kept in the lockers during the day.
So far, only one boy has a laptop that he brings to school - he is very
careful to make sure that the teacher in charge knows he is not doing
anything he shouldn't. A few students use the memory sticks to keep
their work on, but if I catch any of them trying to download games or
inappropriate pictures, etc. they know they will lose computer
privileges.
It hasn't been a problem so far, because we have in place a very good
Technology Acceptable Use Policy both from the Diocese and our own
school that is pretty clear on unacceptable use of any equipment.

Our advances in technology have created the opportunity for students to
'hop-on' our wireless network. We have had times when students are
'streaming' live video from the classroom or posting potentially
inappropriate pictures to specific sites, other than the school's web
page. Our District level office is aware of this situation and it's
potential. We are developing policies to address it.
Do you have similar issues, and if so, what is your school/district
doing to address the concern?
I will post a hit.
