Take Home Rights to Microsoft Office and other software

Yes, there are "take home rights" to some of the software that you use in your classroom, which includes Microsoft Office 2010, Sophos Antivirus, Inspirations, and if you are at WHS, Adobe Creative Suite 4.

There's a form, created using a template from Microsoft, that outlines the "rules" around this use. It's located on the WSD Technology page, under the Business/Operations menu on the WSD Website, also linked here:

It's called the "Take Home Rights Agreement" and in a nutshell, it says you'll use the MS software for work related purposes, and that you'll uninstall it if you ever leave your job at WHS. Note that for both the Microsoft software, and the Adobe software for WHS, your at home use is restricted to work related purposes, which would cover things like lesson planning, working on school projects, grading student work, etc.

You're entitled to the same version of MS Office as you have at work on your teaching computer.

If you are interested in this, please download the form, sign it and initial in the row of lines, and send the form along with a blank DVD to Les Brown. He will copy the installation media onto the DVD, and send it back to you.
