We have to make sure that we teach our students how to be safe and careful with these resources.
Direct instruction, modeling, and monitoring of procedures is a must.
Here are three things I found as very important to consider:
Students must:
1. Refrain from giving out personal information that would allow someone to contact them in person
2. Use these resources to learn and express yourself, not to hurt others
3. Care for and treat electronic devices with respect
I cover a lot of these skills through library lessons with all grade levels during the first nine weeks, but it's reassuring to hear classroom teachers Blogging about how they are going to be reinforcing these skills in the classrooms too.
