LIBRARY LOWDOWN

 We have been busy in the Library! Coming up, we will be incorporating the topic of Digital Literacy in the Library over the next few weeks. We are taking on this important topic in a fun way; here are a few highlights of our lessons:

• Grade 3 - BrainPop & NetSmartz websites, delivering the basic messages of staying safe online:
• I will tell a trusted adult if anything makes me feel sad, scared, or confused.
• I will not share personal information online (name, address, phone #, etc)
• I will never meet anyone in person that I first met online
• I will always use good "netiquette" and will always be kind online
• Grade 4 - Share with Care
• OnGuard Online Videos
• Heads Up
• Protection Connection
• Be Internet Awesome from Google slides & game
• Grade 5 - Website Evaluation
• How to Evaluate Sources for Reliability  video
  
• Two Truths & a Lie  - learn how to determine which websites are real and which one is a fake.

We hope that you enjoy these lessons as much as we do, and that these lessons help facilitate conversations at home. 

Thank you all!
