Technology

Technology, along with 21st century skills, plays an important role in the lives of students today. Our school is committed to improve student achievement in the use of computer technology through its integration in all subject areas. Our teachers encourage their students to use technology tools available in our school and, particularly, to use them to present ideas, enhance creativity, organize thoughts and communicate effectively in a variety of ways.

Our goal is to give our students the knowledge, attitude and skills necessary to become computer literate.

Online Safety Rules
(From the Media Awareness Network)

1.
I will not give out any personal information online without my parentsā€™ permission. This includes my name, phone number, address, e-mail, location of my school, my parentsā€™ work address/telephone numbers and credit card numbers, and my picture. This goes for anywhere on the Internet, including e-mail, chat rooms, newsgroups ā€“ even websites that promise me free stuff or prizes, or on web pages that I make myself.

2.
When using the Internet, I will always use a pretend name or nickname that doesnā€™t reveal whether Iā€™m a boy or a girl.

3.
When creating a password, I will make one up that is hard to guess, but easy for me to remember. To avoid having it stolen, I will never reveal it to anyone (except my parents) ā€“ not even my best friend.

 

4.
I will not respond to any message that makes me feel uncomfortable. I will show an adult right away.

5.
I will arrange to meet a friend I have made on the Internet ONLY if one of my parents has been informed and will be present.

6.
I will not send an insulting or rude message to anyone online. This is called ā€œflamingā€ and is not good Netiquette.

7.
I will not disable any filtering software my parents have put on my computer.

 

8.
I will not open e-mail, files, links, pictures or games from people that I donā€™t know or trust. I will always ask an adult first.

9.
I will not take words, pictures or sounds from someone elseā€™s website without their permission.

10.
I will not believe everything I read on the Internet. I will always check the source of the information and confirm it with my teacher, parent or librarian.
