Digital Citizenship at the High School Continued
Since the Dec-Jan 17-18 Dimension, when we shared the “what” and the “why” about the implementation of digital citizenship lessons at the high school, teachers have presented a total of six digital citizenship lessons related to online safety. We have received positive feedback from students, staff, and parents, and we look forward to building on this foundation. As this school year is coming to a close, we want to share the resources presented to students and staff. Below are the lesson presentation titles and links to view the lessons.
Note: Due to the fact that these lessons were specifically designed for our Ballard students, in order for a parent/guardian to view these lessons, please have your Ballard student log into his/her Ballard account on a Chrome browsers before selecting the link or entering the URL in a Chrome browser Omnibox (address bar).
Moving Forward
The HS Technology Team will analyze and discuss the Clarity BrightBytes data in May to assist with guiding high school teachers for the 2018 - 2019 school year. This data will be presented to high school teachers and will be followed by discussions regarding a direction they would like to go for the 2018 - 2019 school year. We all are looking forward to determining a focus to directly impact our high school students.
