Champion Christian School Technology Plan
- Our Plan for Technology Use
- (as
God leads and provides...James 4:13ff)
- Champion Educational Purpose
- (quoted from the Champion Christian School Student
Handbook, 2000-01)
“Champion Christian School adopts the historic, Christian
view of life as presented in the Bible: since
God created and sustains everything through His Son, Jesus Christ, the world and
life are God-centered and should glorify Him.
Man being a sinner by nature and choice, however, cannot in that
condition glorify or know God. He
can do this only by being recreated in God’s image through committing his life
to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The
total process of education, therefore, must seek this restoration of the student
to the position of true knowledge, righteousness and holiness in Christ by
developing and relating the whole person to God spiritually, mentally, socially
and physically. It must present all
truth as God’s truth and must be interpreted and integrated with God’s Word. Such education is primarily the parents’ responsibility and
the school should function as an extension of the home to aid the parents in
giving this education.
...From this purpose stems certain educational objectives:
- To
promote high academic standards that help the students gain a thorough
comprehension and command of the fundamental processes used in communication
with others.
- To
teach and encourage the formation of good study habits.
- To
teach the students how to do research and to use the scientific method.
- To
develop creative and critical thinking and the proper use of Biblical
criteria for evaluation.
- To
promote good citizenship through developing an understanding and
appreciation of our Christian and American heritage of freedom and human
dignity, and
- To
impart knowledge of the world and current affairs in all fields and relate
them to God’s plan for human kind.” (CCS Student Handbook, 2000-01)
School Technology Vision Statement
Champion Christian School desires to help our students
acquire real-life technology skills that will allow them to achieve excellence
in any work environment. Additionally,
we want our students to become creative users of technology to communicate
God’s Word to the world and to build up His church. Toward that end, Champion will strive to continually provide
excellent hardware, current software tools and effective technology instruction.
The CCS Technology Plan has been developed in order to
provide a set of guiding principles for staff development, integration of
technology into instructional programs, acquisition of hardware and software,
and access to outside resources.
Statement of
Existing Conditions
Computer Lab, School Offices, Library and Classrooms
At the end of the 1999 school year, the Computer Lab was
not networked, and the majority of the lab computers contained 75 mhz
processors, 32 mb RAM and 700 mb hard drives.
Software tools were limited.
In 2001-2, there were 22 workstations connected across a
peer-to-peer “Fast Ethernet” (100mbs) network, with Cat 5 cabling and 10/100
Fast Ethernet Switches. The School
offices were networked in a similar fashion.
Both networks were connected to the internet on a 1.5mbs (T-1 equivalent) line. Four 800 mhz machines
were purchased in 2001, three being installed in the Computer Lab.
The Lab currently had 2 digital cameras, three scanners, 3 CD Burners, a
MIDI Keyboard and three networked printers installed.
The school office received a Canon ImageRunner 330 (and later, a model 600), enabling remote
printing across the network. A
Microsoft Office 2000 Suite site license was purchased and allowing training in
current productivity tools, including Word, Excel, Publisher, FrontPage,
PhotoDraw, Access and PowerPoint. Three
classrooms had non-networked computers for teacher and student use.
The school had a student-developed and maintained website at http://championcs.org.
2002 was the first year that the school Yearbook was produced digitally.
The students were trained in the use of Photoshop/PhotoDraw, PageMaker and YearTech, along
with digital cameras, scanners and extensive network use.
In the 2002-3 school year, 5 used computers (Dell 350mhz,
8gb HD, 256 RAM) were purchased for the Computer Lab, which allowed lower end
CPU’s to be placed in each classroom along with printers.
Classroom computers
were not wired for the internet. MyGradebook.com was implemented for online grade keeping and parent-teacher
communication. Parents and students
were able to securely view their assignments, grades and attendance online. Champion installed a dedicated CPU that enabled
various custom intranet and internet applications.
The first application was a web-enabled database that allows online access
to such things as the Computer
Literacy Curriculum – Recipes For Computing Success.
The 2003-4 school year saw
the purchase of 3 new computers (2.1ghz Compaq Presarios). A generous
donation allowed the purchase of a Digital Video Camera and associated
software. A scanner, DVD player and 2 CPU's were also donated.

Champion Christian School
Technology Acceptable Use Policy
Letter to Parents or Guardians
Champion Christian School is working hard to provide
students with the modern tools and skills required to be successful in this
digital age. While grateful for the very few problems we've experienced
thus far, we are also aware that the tools of technology can be used or
abused. So with caution we will utilize technology only to honor God and serve His
purposes.
Internet access for all students is currently available in
our campuswide. Electronic
devices are increasingly powerful and mobile, which introduces both
advantages
and risks. This letter describes the Internet services offered to our students,
as well as the Acceptable Use Policy which every student and their parent
or guardian must sign.
Through the use of a content filtering tool and the
Champion Christian School Acceptable Use Policy, access to inappropriate
material is restricted to the best of our ability and that of current
technology. Although staff will supervise your student’s use of the Internet
with CCS equipment, we cannot absolutely guarantee that your child will not gain
access to inappropriate material. No filter can be 100% effective and students
may stumble upon inappropriate material. There may be additional kinds of
material on the Internet that are not in accord with your family values. Good
judgment and self-control will always be the best filtering device. We would
like to encourage you to discuss with your child your family
values and your expectations about how your values should guide their use of the
internet.
In order to protect students, staff and the school, CCS
reserves the right to monitor all on-campus communication, wireless or wired,
via personal or school devices, via any current or future medium, including: IM
(Instant Messaging), Text Messaging, Chat, Blogs, Personal Web Pages, Email, Newsgroups, Guestbooks,
Forums, Email Lists,
Forms, etc. Students and parents should not expect absolute privacy of their
electronic communications through the CCS Network or on the CCS campus.
Students are not allowed to encrypt their communications with the specific
purpose of concealing activities that are disallowed by CCS. Students not
abiding by these guidelines will have all electronic privileges removed. Our
primary responsibility is to protect the student and school from all threats
that may arise via electronic means.
Please contact the Technology Advisor if you
have any questions or concerns and see our Help For
Parents section for information and resources.

computer lab. Access to POP3 email accounts and Newsgroups is not provided.
Students are expected to follow the rules set forth in Champion Christian
School’ Handbook as well as all local, state and federal laws governing use of
the Internet, even if using personal equipment and internet access accounts.
2. No unauthorized files may be downloaded from the
Internet. This includes, but is not limited to any freeware, shareware and/or
demo programs. Any video streaming through such applications as QuickTime,
RealAudioVideo, Windows Media Player, etc. may be viewed only as part of a
current class assignment or research project, and not strictly for entertainment
purposes. No peer-to-peer file sharing services (Kazaa, Napster, Morpheus,
etc.) may be used via CCS Network resources. Students may not use the CSS
Network to download unauthorized copyrighted material, even while using their
own devices (laptops, PDA’s, cell phones, etc.). CCS reserves the right to
monitor all network activity and limit or deny student access or confiscate
student devices.
C. Unacceptable Uses
(*The CCS Student
Handbook also contains guidelines for various electronic devices under “Prohibited
Materials”: Radios, pagers, tape recorders, CD players, and cell/camera
phones must be turned off between 7:45a.m. and 3:15 p.m. while student is on
campus unless specific permission has been given from the supervising adult.
Unauthorized items will be confiscated and may be reclaimed by the parent.)
The following uses of Champion Christian School Network are
considered unacceptable:
1. Personal Safety
- a. You will not post personal contact information about yourself or other
people. Personal
- contact information includes your home address, home telephone, school
address, work address, pager, class schedule etc.
b. You will not agree to meet with someone you have met
online without your parent's approval.
c. You will promptly disclose to your teacher or other
school employee any communication you receive that is inappropriate or makes you
feel uncomfortable.
2. Illegal Activities

CCS Network or to any other computer network using CCS Network resources or
attempt to elevate current authorized access. This includes attempting to log
in through another person's account or access another person's files. These
actions are not only against school policy, but they are illegal (see appendix
C- United States Code TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -
PART I - CHAPTER 47 - Sec. 1030). If you find yourself in
an area off-limits to students (e.g. Office computers), immediately inform the

fines and/or cost of repair, or both.
3. Network Security
a.
You are responsible for your individual accounts (Email, Online Gradebook, etc.)
and should take all reasonable precautions to prevent others from being able to
use your account. Under no conditions should you provide your passwords to
another person. If another person gains access to your account and uses it in
violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, both you and the offending student can
lose all access to the network.
b.
You will immediately notify a teacher or the Computer Science teacher if you
have identified a possible security problem, including someone gaining access to
your account. Do not go looking for security problems, because this may be
construed as an illegal attempt to gain access.
c.
You will avoid the inadvertent spread of computer viruses by following
common sense virus protection procedures, such as scanning removable and
internal storage
devices (jump drives, CD’s, floppies, external hard drives, internal hard
drives, etc.) for viruses before connecting to the
CCS Network and not opening file attachments that arrive via email, etc.
d.
In order to gain access to the CCS Network using your personal device
(laptop, PDA, etc.), each user MUST obtain a permit by completing the “Network
Use” application, available from the Technology Advisor. Anyone found using the
