Adventist School Digital Media Policy
Adventist schools have a unique opportunity to help students develop fully in all areas of their lives. These guidelines attempt to help our students to practice self-control and time management and to celebrate and respect the diversity of thought as modeled by Jesus. It is the school’s responsibility, in cooperation with parents, to protect students in the classroom and beyond.
Personal Use of Social Media
North American Division has created some guidelines for personal use of social media.
A employee’s online presence always reflects their faith and organization of employment. Therefore, the Social Media + Big Data department of the North American Division recommends the following social media guidelines. The absence of, or lack of explicit reference to a specific site or platform does not limit the extent of the application of this policy. Where no guideline exists, employees should use their professional judgment and take the most prudent action possible.
Guidelines for Generative AI
Generative AI tools, including language models, image generators, audio creators, video synthesizers, and more, can significantly enhance the educational process and experience by providing valuable assistance in content creation, research, and communication. However, it is crucial to teach the responsible and ethical use of these tools. This document outlines the guidelines for using Generative AI in the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists schools.
At their discretion, teachers may allow the use of Generative AI for academic purposes. Teachers will communicate if AI may be used and to what level. Students must assume that AI may not be used unless specified. Students should use the AI resources specified by their teacher.
