Internet and E-Mail Use by Faculty Members

1. Please be very careful and prudent about how you use the Internet. Remember there is a log of every site that you visit being kept on our server.
2. Do not use your computers for personal use during the time that you have students in your class.
3. E-mail is not private communication. Say nothing on e-mail that you would not want announced over the intercom to the whole school. Anyone with a little knowledge can read e-mails and they reside somewhere on someone's server, never going away.
4. Please be careful about jokes and other things like chain letters that make the rounds on e-mail. This is a good way to give the system a computer virus because you do not know where that e-mail originated or where it has been.
5. When you send an attachment, note it in the subject line of the e-mail. A good rule is to delete any e-mail that has an attachment, graphic, or web page link from outside our system. Many times these carry virus programs concealed in them.
6. Please keep your virus definitions up-to-date. We cannot go around and update each machine in this building.
7. Faculty members should not be using their computers for playing games.
8. Most of our business is now being done electronically. Faculty members must become familiar with the systems and programs or they will be out of the communication loop.
