WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ME? Gives teachers the opportunity to provide students with tools to allow them to Communicate • Collaborate • Create • Critically Think • And • Contribute •

WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ME? What is my responsibility? Make sure every student is able to utilize a device – you wouldn’t teach a lesson that requires the textbook, and allow only 22 of your 29 students to have access to one ensuring accessibility means: giving advance notice of 1 block that a lesson utilizing devices will be given next class • obtaining ‘backup’ laptops/ chromebooks so kids can participate fully even if their device is • not with them or isn’t working(a lot of kids get their phones "taken away for a week” as consequences at home) allow students to “pair up” with someone as a way to provide accessibility and accountability •

INTERNET SECURITY LCPS takes precautions to restrict access to undesirable • or inappropriate materials using firewalls and filtering applications on LCPS wireless networks Teachers and staff should monitor user activity • Appropriate disciplinary actions will be pursued for • violations

WHAT IMPACT DOES IT HAVE ON OUR STUDENTS?
