Reviewing Good Online Habits with Grade 3
In today's digital age, elementary schools are more than just classrooms for traditional subjects. They play a vital role in molding young minds into responsible digital citizens. This transformation is made possible through the implementation of Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs). Digital citizenship encompasses the responsible and ethical use of technology. It involves skills like digital literacy, online etiquette, privacy awareness, critical thinking, and cyberbullying prevention.
Students in grade 3 spent some time reviewing the Spofford Pond School Acceptable Use Policy, making sure everyone understands their responsibilities when using online devices and accounts at school.
During the session, we delved into the realm of discerning fact from fiction in the vast expanse of online content. Our exploration commenced with a short video, igniting a lively discussion among the young minds. Together, we explored various methods to distinguish between credible information and misleading narratives on the internet. From analyzing sources to evaluating evidence, the students actively participated, sharing their perspectives and insights. The classroom buzzed with curiosity as we navigated through scenarios, empowering these budding critical thinkers with valuable tools to navigate the digital landscape with confidence. By the end of our session, not only had we honed our skills in digital literacy, but we had also established a culture of discernment and inquiry among the learners.
