Digital Citizenship

Becoming Responsible with Technology

Digital citizenship is an important aspect of learning to use technology as a tool, especially in an academic setting.  Students at Spofford Pond are expected to follow our school's acceptable use policy as well as understand what is means to be a good digital citizen, even when not in school. The rules of digital citizenship are reiterated whenever students use technology in any classroom.  Students get additional information on the topic in their library-media classes with Mrs. Boulay. Recently, fourth graders had a refresher course when they worked on a hyperdoc called "Digital Citizenship Superhero!"
