JIS Technology User Agreement (TUA) and Related Policies For High School Students

JIS Technology User Agreement

For High School Students

Jakarta Intercultural School believes technology is an essential feature of a contemporary learning environment. Students who use technology with integrity, respect and responsibility can create, collaborate and communicate, enriching the learning experience for the entire JIS community.

This agreement covers school-owned and personal digital tools used on the JIS campus, and use of JIS-owned equipment off campus. Users also may be held accountable for off-campus violations of the Technology User Agreement that negatively impact the school community.

JIS reserves the right to access any information stored or transmitted over the network. JIS will view or scan content on JIS systems or transmitted over the JIS network periodically to audit use.

We expect all JIS technology users to be:

KIND:   Only post or reshare such content (videos, images, documents, etc) when there is a reasonable assumption that the content owner or subjects would approve.

SMART:   Make wise choices about when you are photographed or recorded. Once anything is posted online you no longer have control of it.

RESPECTFUL: Be a respectful digital citizen (no bullying, offensive language, violence, pornography, racism, etc); create a positive footprint online.

SAFE: Protect your identity and that of others online; do not share personal or confidential information that could jeopardize others’ safety.

RESPONSIBLE:  Only use accounts, devices, applications and settings for which you have been given permission, and keep your accounts secure.

POSITIVE: Contribute to a positive learning environment, and prevent your use of digital tools from distracting self and others (all social networking sites such as FB, Tumblr, Twitter, Skype, etc need to be closed unless directed by your teacher).

APPROPRIATE: Represent JIS appropriately online; be responsible for material associated with your JIS account. 

CONSIDERATE:  Use our shared bandwidth responsibly (minimize use of the Internet and JIS network for non-school-related activities especially during the school day).  Remember the Gaming Free Zones: Libraries, Wantilan and Vive Cafe.

THOUGHTFUL: Minimize printing and photocopying.

LEGIT: Install legal and school-appropriate materials (no cracked software, pirated music or movies, no inappropriate content) on school-owned devices.

Artificial Intelligence

In the JIS High School, we see the use of artificial intelligence tools as part of the real-world learning environment and aligned with our aim to be a pioneering learning community. Unless explicitly stated, the use of artificial intelligence is allowed and may be encouraged in the following circumstances: when used to brainstorm, to simplify a complex text, set of ideas or data, or as part of a wider range of sources. As with any source, all facts should be checked, and verified and all content proofread before submission. All content quoted directly or paraphrased from an artificial source/generator must be cited as such (as with any other source). Teachers should be explicit if its use is to be restricted on a particular assignment or assessment and this must be consistent across a course. 

Note that for all externally assessed work, the external body’s policies will apply:

• IBO ChatGPT/ai statement

• College Board Guidance for ai use on AP assignments/assessments
