Students from Room 4 in 2012 spent time exploring digital citizenship and how it aligns with our school values: pride, respect and responsibility. I then shared with the staff at a curriculum meeting towards the end of the year. The discussion included:


 * What do students do if they find something inappropriate online? - We could start using the Hector safety button. Alternatively close the lid of the laptop or click on the minimize button. Don't show other students, but show an adult.
 * Be aware that random searches on Google (web search or image searches) and YouTube can bring up inappropriate content - Watchdog blocks out most inappropriate material.
 * Places & spaces - what websites and Web 2.0 are appropriate for school? Is a website educational? Is it enhancing the students learning?
