Welcome to tech classes at DHS. All grade K, 1, 2, and 3 have tech classes this year. In fact, we are the only school that has a class for you to specifically learn about the 6C's in technology, this year.
We will be focusing especially on your Online Safety, communicating, and creating digital content. My goal as your teacher: inspire you to be as much a creator as a consumer with technology.

Malware & Email
Malware & Email
Last week, a practice phishing (bad bad bad!) email was sent out to grade 4 students. Many students clicked on it. NO! Even one student clicking on a real phishing email can hurt our school.

Remember, DON'T EVER CLICK a LINK in an EMAIL from SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW.
