Following the 1-1 programme introduction into Seoul Foreign High School and in line with the Whole

school policy the students and Staff created this original 2012 SFHS Technology Responsible Use Agreement:
I will be responsible for my personal laptop, for example, keeping it charged and secure, and having password. If I find an unattended laptop, I will leave it alone or report it to a teacher. If I find a Drop-in lab or library computer left logged on, I will logout and log back in with my own account before using it. If I find a lost USB drive, camera, phone, iPod, or any other device, I will give it to a teacher or the HS office. I will do my best to conserve paper when printing. During class, I will only use my computer as my teacher instructs. During study halls and break times after my other obligations are complete, I will responsibly use my computer for personal purposes (such as gaming and social networking) as long as it remains appropriate (no pornographic, hate-related or excessively violent material, etc.) I will respect the schools internet filter and if necessary, request for a site to be unblocked rather than try to bypass the filter by means of proxies, hacking, etc. I will not attempt to install any unauthorized applications on school computers. I will not eat or drink anything in the drop-in labs. I will not send harassing, embarrassing, or insulting messages to anyone in the SFS community, either from school, from home, or from another communication device like a phone or iPod. I will encourage my friends to follow these guidelines and report violations. Teachers are in charge of laptop use in their classes - they can specify when they are used and what they are used for, require all students to close their laptops during an activity, or insist that all laptops are put away if they are not needed. Misuse of computer or technology resources, whether personal or school-owned, will result in disciplinary action in accordance with normal discipline policies.

As a group of high school teachers, we have created what we consider to be a more comprehensive RUA and organised the ideas in three different ways based on intrapersonal, interpersonal and extrapersonal models of responsibility. The three formats we have included in this plan are a simple version (intended for the handbook or as a contract), a more detailed version for the students and a teachers version with hyperlinks and lesson ideas for the implementation of the ideas (to be used in seminar groups).

Thanks to all who helped, advised and contributed.
