Tangipahoa Parish School System recognizes the importance of developing the digital skills of our students. With the implementation of online testing, it is more important than ever that students know their way around a computer and keyboard and are provided time to develop these skills. These skills are necessary for students to be successful in the classroom and in the career path they choose. In order to provide guidance for teachers, we have developed this Google site which houses the curriculum for Digital Citizenship, Keyboarding, Computer Technology Literacy..

Digital Citizenship: All Tangipahoa Parish Schools, grades K-12, will implement an Acceptable Use Campaign to educate employees, students, and parents on the safe use of Internet communication tools. Two lessons in digital citizenship is to be delivered to students each nine weeks. Teachers are to document the teaching of the lesson in their lesson plans and on our Lesson Plan Documentation Form.

Keyboarding: Grades K-8 have access to keyboarding lessons through Typing Agent. It is important that students in these grade levels build up their keyboarding skills and Typing Agent offers lessons and resources to do that.

Computer Literacy: Computer Literacy is being implemented at the sixth-grade level so students can earn a half-credit Carnegie unit. TPSS uses the Google Applied Digital Skills platform to implement this course.
