Digital Citizenship

This week we learned about digital citizenship across all grade levels.

We discussed not giving out personal information such as your real name, address, phone number or even what school you attend. We also talked about being kind and respectful online and to tell a trusted adult if you are a victim of cyber bullying or if you come across something that is inappropriate.

We learned that we should never let anyone else use our login and passwords at school and to make sure that we are completely logged off of the computer to make sure no one can access our account accidentally.  We also discussed that our devices should always be connected to the PISD guest WIFI to make sure that inappropriate sites are less likely to pop up and to save our parents data plan.

This week was primarily an introduction into digital citizenship by watching Faux Paw the Techno Cat for Pre-K and some Netsmart videos for the other grade levels.  Digital citizenship is a topic that should be covered numerous times a year, especially each time the students are doing online research.  I plan on having more in depth lessons about these topics at a later date.
