Digital Citizenship
At Ox Ridge School, we apply our school code to everything, including when we are using our devices and the internet!
Digital Citizenship
As part of the library program of study, students participate in lessons that connect the Ox Ridge's Kid's Code to digital citizenship. The activities and lesson plans were developed by the organization, Common Sense. "Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century." The goal of these lessons is to help students be Kind and Accepting, Honest and Responsible, Safe and Peaceful, Respectful to All, while working in a digital environment. You might find the information on the Common Sense site help. The link below will take you to the Parent Concerns page. From there you can access all that Common Sense has to offer.
At Ox Ridge, we follow the Ox RIdge Code of being kind and respectful, honest and responsible, safe and peaceful, and respectful to all. We do this on our devices and the internet to by being good Digital Citizens!
Citing Sources and Images
The Internet makes searching for images very easy but not all images have been added to sites with the rights for people to use. Part of being a good digital citizen is knowing how to find images you are allowed to use and how to provide the proper citation for the images. The video and "How To" tutorials below have been created by Mrs. Choiniere from Tokeneke Library to help students learn how to cite sources and images correctly.
