Technology Education

A variety of innovative uses of technology, including student chromebooks, innovation lab, school-wide networking, eCLASS, video production, and telecommunications including Internet access, are incorporated into all aspects of our instructional services. There is a need for emphasis on proper and ethical use of this technology. 

• Students will not be permitted to copy school software or to bring software from home to copy onto the school computers.

• Online student accounts are to be used for educational purposes only with activities assigned by the teacher.

• Students’ actions will be monitored, and they will be held responsible for information viewed, received, and sent. These guidelines are in accordance with the Gwinnett County Student Behavior Code.

• When using the Internet, students must understand they are responsible for their actions.  They must keep in mind the following rules:

  1. Internet use is limited to the gathering of information and production related to classroom assignments.

  2. Brookwood Elementary students may only go to Internet sites that have been previewed by a teacher and/or linked to the Brookwood Elementary website, their teacher’s eClass page, or provided by the teacher on a classroom assignment. 

  3. Brookwood students may not gain unauthorized access to other people’s files or programs.

  4. Brookwood students may not make changes to the hardware or software configurations of any machine. Inappropriate use will result in a loss of this privilege as well as disciplinary action. All students must follow the GCPS acceptable use agreement.

Look for additional information regarding technology on the GCPS Parent/Student Handbook and/or teacher eClass pages.
