ICT Strands and Digital Citizenship Pledge

The ICT Strands are categories which show the purpose of using devices for learning.

Digital Citizenship Pledges are promises which all students at RIS will agree to when using their devices online.

When students bring their devices to school , they bring it to use as a tool for learning. There are many ways we use devices to help us learn. The students have spent some time in class thinking about this and sharing their knowledge about ways in which devices help us learn. 

After understanding the purpose of having devices in school, they also learn that it is a privilege to have deices in school.  With privilege comes responsibility. Therefore, all students who use devices online need to know, understand and agree to the Digital Citizenship Pledge. This pledge came from Common Sense Media website (link is on the left side of the blog). 

Prior to agreeing to the Digital Citizenship Pledge, students will know what each statement; LOOKS LIKE, SOUNDS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE. In this way, they will be able to follow the pledge and help each other to follow it as well.
