Instruction at GAP focuses on proper technology use, students' digital footprints, appropriate online activity, and general technology uses such as helpful apps and online resources. The Essential Skills for Life class uses lessons from Common Sense Education (www.commonsense.org), which provides information on everything from understanding digital life to copyright laws to cyberbullying, and more. This comprehensive curriculum allows students to gain in-depth understanding about the potentially dangerous online world, and teaches ways to stay safe while using internet-based media.
