Good Afternoon:
Some of you may already know that ITRTs have been asked to provide ongoing Digital Citizenship/Digital Safety training.
We offered several sessions during Monday’s professional development day.
We will be using materials adapted from Google’s Be Internet Awesome program. During the half-day PD sessions in February, March, April, and May we also are offering 60-minute sessions on specific topics from Be Internet Awesome - Smart, Alert, Strong and Kind.
These training sessions are optional but teachers are strongly encouraged to share these lessons and materials with students.
