Digital Citizenship
Technology plays an important role in helping us create a learning environment that empowers all of Austin ISD. As a district, we value privacy, security and transparency. We invite you to learn about the digital tools available to your students, as well as our commitment to data protection and internet safety by visiting the links below.
We are dedicated to ensuring that digital citizenship and internet safety skills are part of classroom culture at every grade level. We hope you will continue these conversations at home. We have a shared responsibility to speak with our students about how they interact online and to encourage healthy and safe digital habits. AISD relies on support resources from Common Sense Media which revolve around the following topics:
- Media Balance & Well-Being
- Privacy & Security
- Digital Footprint & Identity
- Relationships & Communication
- Cyberbullying, Digital Drama & Hate Speech
- News & Media Literacy
Austin ISD is a recognized No Place for Hate school district. The district encourages staff and families to support anti-bullying efforts and provides anti-bullying resources for the community to use to make our schools a safer place for all students.
Social Media
On Austin ISD’s wifi network, student access to many social media services is blocked. However, students with smartphones can use cellular networks to access all internet content and apps. Teachers have full access to all social media. Austin ISD continues to evaluate how social media can be used as an instructional tool.
