DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP OVERVIEW & The Spofford Pond School A.U.P.

During the first few weeks of school students reviewed the Spofford Pond Digital Citizenship rules.  After going through our Acceptable Use Policy (A.U.P.), examining some rules and watching some safety tip videos, students signed a digital citizenship contract, pledging to follow the rules.  Grades 5 & 6 also got a special presentation on Internet Safety from guest speaker, Katie Greer.  Be sure to check out her website.   Digital Citizenship is an important piece of technology use and it is a subject that we will be investigating throughout the year in all classes.
