Digital Citizenship
1 to 1 Initiative
The 1 to 1 initiative gives us the ability to educate our students on the power and uses of the internet. However we need to be mindful that we also teach students how to be safe and responsible as they navigate the digital world. One way is to teach students how to become digital citizens. Our mission is to ensure that students and staff will be safe, use technology appropriately, and act responsibly online in order to expand their knowledge and experiences. To accomplish this goal our students will receive 3+hours of instruction using resources from Common Sense Media on how to become responsible digital citizens in today's world.
Common Sense Media has a wonderful site that addresses Parent Concerns with the use of technology.
