Week of May 18 - 22 Terrific Technology Post #6

Students and Caregivers!
Caregivers, I hope you had a chance to check out CommonSense.org in my post from last week. The site can be a bit confusing, but it is so packed with good info, it's worth exploring. Email if you have any questions about it! With so much riding on remote learning, it's really important to keep reinforcing good digital citizenship.
Third Graders..(and Fourth Graders!)Third Graders are starting their Animal Slideshow project, so I put in three videos on Google Slides. One is a quick review of the basics. The second video is how to put photos into your slideshows. Third is how to put videos into your slideshows! And for those who want to push on a bit, Google allows you to add audio to your slideshows. It is on the Insert menu.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP Two videos with more tips on staying safe. The first one, Protecting Your Private Information, is for grades 2-3. You can also click the picture to the right.



The second one, Internet Safety on BrainPop, is probably more for 3-4. Students in those grades saw it in school, but it is a topic that should be discussed at home as well. They do overlap a bit, but the messages are worthing hearing over and over! Watch them both! You can also click the picture to the right.
