Technology Resources for Educators       MultiMedia Resources (video, audio, images) Due to the dynamic nature of electronic resources (such as the Internet, mobile applications, etc.), teachers are required to review all resources prior to classroom use for instructional and age level appropriateness. During student use of any electronic resources, teachers will provide active supervision and continuous monitoring. Staff must also provide guidance and instruction to students related to the appropriate and ethical use of electronic and computer resources. See the Instructional Technology area on the AACPS Intranet(login required) for current guidelines, practices, and related memos.
