Students and parents will be expected to read the technology agreement in the school handbook.
5th graders will NOT be allowed to play video games in class (even during rainy day recess).
We use the following sites regularly:
- Office 360 (including email)
- IXL
- Zane Blosser Portal (Spelling)
- Seesaw
Students should practice tech typing skills if they are not familiar with them. I’ve found www.typing.com/student/lessons to be helpful.
All final writing drafts should be done using Word.
Students will be taught the Current Reliable Authority Purpose (C.R.A.P.) Test to choose websites wisely. However, when doing research reports, students will NOT be allowed to simply “surf the web” without permission and supervision.
Students who are caught surfing the web, playing video games, or sending messages/gifs/emails that are not school related will have their one-to-one device turned off, put away for the remainder of the day, and a progress report sent home.
Computers at school are for educational purposes only.
