Educational Technology
The creation of a large and varied technology environment demands that technology usage be conducted in legal and ethically appropriate ways. It is the intention of the Anglo-American School of Sofia that all technology resources be used in accordance with all school policies and procedures. Additionally, it is expected that students will use technology resources to benefit their learning through responsible practice. Violators of this policy will be dealt with in a manner comparable to situations requiring disciplinary action.
