Schools have rules for tech called an Acceptable Use Policy. We call this an AUP. The AUP tells us how to use devices correctly.

School Tech Rules (AUP)1. Be kind online2. Keep passwords safe

Responsible behavior keeps you safe. Never share your name or password. Always log out when you finish your work.

Keep Passwords Secret!

Let's compare two choices. Sharing passwords with friends is unsafe. Keeping passwords private follows the AUP and keeps your work safe!

✏️ Worked example

Sam wants to share his login password with a classmate. Is this an acceptable use of tech?

  1. Check the school AUP rules about passwords.
  2. Find the rule about keeping account information private.
  3. Think about what happens if someone else has your password.
  4. Realize that sharing passwords can lead to lost work.
  5. Conclude that sharing passwords breaks the AUP and is unsafe.
