For the Unit of Inquiry on How We Organize Ourselves, the 3rd graders focused on the importance of Technology in our lives. They discussed a lot about Internet Safety and being responsible communicators online. To help students better understand Internet Safety, we believe in partnering with parents and preparing our students to:

+ Think critically and evaluate websites, email, and other content online.

+ Protect themselves from online threats, including bullying and scams.

+ Get smart about sharing: what, when, how, and with whom.

+ Be kind and respectful toward other people online, including respecting their privacy.

+ Ask for help with tricky situations from a parent or other trusted adult.

This year, these efforts included Be Internet Awesome by Google, a program designed to teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart online. One of the resources, Interland, is an internet game that makes learning these skills interactive and fun. Smart, safe technology usage can enable students to help drive their own learning and help our school function better. We believe the Be Internet Awesome program will mark an important step toward our goal of ensuring all our students at EABH are learning, exploring, and staying safe online, both inside and outside school walls.
