Every couple of months we want to share with you highlights of using technology in the classroom including resources available, new tools and awesome ideas shared by teachers.

PRIVACY AND CITIZENSHIP RESOURCES

Digital privacy and digital citizenship are important things to consider for both staff and students in this digital world. It is essential we educate ourselves and our students on being good digital citizens and safeguarding personal information. Click here here to access some great resources. Please take some time to review the LKDSB Administrative Procedure - Use of (Third Party) Online Educational Tools before choosing a new digital tool for your classroom.

DIGITAL TOOLS FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS

Sometimes we get so excited about new resources we forget to highlight other great resources we have had access to for a while! In each newsletter we will highlight at least one digital resource available for your classroom. We'll kick it off with the awesome Learn360. This massive digital library contains 150,000+ video and audio resources for use in your classroom in additional to hundreds of full length feature films. Login at Learn360.com using your 6+2 as the username and default password "changeme" or stop by the Technology Enriched Learning section of the Staff Intranet to learn more. Please email trevor.martin@lkdsb.net if you need help getting access to Learn360.

We are looking forward to working with you this year!
