An Acceptuale Use Policy (AUP) are guidelines set up by universities for appropriate technology use. By definition, an AUP is a written agreement signed by students, their parents/caregivers, and their teachers. It outlines the terms and conditions for using technology-based devices maintained by schools and personal technology-based devices used during school hours on school property.
AUP regulates what can be said or done on the internet. AUP impacts the WEB in the classroom because it regulates behavior over the internet. It regulates what cites students can go in.

Well put, Jarrett. Schools needs AUPs so that their students, while on campus, do not access sites that can be potentially harmful to them or others. There are sites out there that children can learn how to make weapons out of regular household items, and children can learn from these websites. With AUPs in place, hopefully these children will know not to go on these websites, or they will be punished. Either that, or have the websites filtered and blocked.

AUPs are necessary in today's digital world to protect both end users and organizations.
