How Much Our Kids Love Digital Devices
Above is a link to a recent Huffington Post article about the growth of device use among children in the last 2 years.
As we see the use of mobile devices grow, our children are becoming more and more tech-savvy and as their guardians, teachers and parents, it is our responsibility to keep up with them. Part of our job is to engage in discussions with our children about what they are doing when they are using their devices. Ask them to show you and teach you what they have learned. You will be amazed at their knowledge! Let them be your guide as you both explore the wonders of the digital world on the internet. It's a place of many possibilities as well as dangers. Help guide your child to be a responsible digital citizen.
At our school, we are beginning this journey with digital citizenship pledges.
1. Communicate responsibly and kindly with one another
2. Protect our own and other's private information online
3. Stand up to cyber bullying
4. Respect each other's ideas and opinions
5. Give proper credit when we use other's work.

We have also shown the children this video from Common Sense Media website (the web address link is on the sidebar) which reminds the children of their responsibility to Stop and Think before they post anything online.
Please watch it with your children and begin a discussion about responsible behavior online. (click on the live link to the video below)
