Any web2.0 applications:
 * Teacher should inform ITT staff so that Terms of Service can be reviewed. (Can be done via the ticket system)
 * Teacher should be able to indicate how use of web 2.0 product contributes to the learning process.
 * District email addresses should be used to create accounts not personal email addresses.
 * Students will be informed of Terms of Service focusing on intellectual property rights.
 * Since most web 2.0 products retain intellectual property rights for content created on their sites we would prefer to see use of applications found on the computers so students own their work.
 * If the decision to use a web 2.0 product is made and it offers an educational version student accounts should be created in the educational version.

District Supported web2.0 Products:
 * Wikis - begin the name of each wiki with "hsd" (ex: hsdPES)
 * Google Docs - submit a ticket before starting a project
 * Vicki or Sue will set up a student account for you so files can be shared with you in the student domain. Will also check student accounts for Google domain access.
 * Strongly suggested to have a tech coach do an intro lesson with your students before your first project.
 * School usernames and passwords are used. Passwords must be at least six characters.
 * If you ever have any questions, submit a [|ticket]!
