Grade 5 students have recently launched Bring Your Own Educational Device (B.Y.O.E.D) to their classrooms this week. This privilege allows grade 5 students to use their personal ipad, computer or telephone device in the classroom for educational purposes. Learning how to navigate positively online is a large undertaking and requires the opportunity to make appropriate choices on the internet while communicating responsibly with peers. In addition, it allows the students to initiate their own learning inquiry both at school and at home.
As digital immigrants who are adapting to technology later in life, parents may often be unfamiliar with this learning approach and may require some guidelines to help coach their children when being responsible online. The Family Online Safety Institute and Platform for Good have created Tech For Success, a useful guide to help initiate conversations regarding the navigation of the online world. Download yours today and learn to discover what success with technology means to you and your family.
