Best Prectices for Safe and Effective Communication
While technology provides great opportunities for communication, it’s important to follow best practices to keep students and families safe:
Use Privacy Settings: Protect student information by adjusting privacy settings and limiting who can access boards or posts.
Supervise Use: Students should be guided by teachers when using digital tools to ensure they use them appropriately.
Respect Copyright: Always give credit for resources and avoid using copyrighted material without permission.
Avoid Over-sharing: Be mindful of what information and images are shared online. Only share content that is appropriate and approved for school use.
Set Guidelines: Teachers should clearly explain how and when tools should be used to maintain focus and prevent misuse.
Promote Digital Citizenship: Teach students how to evaluate resources and use technology responsibly.
