Boone kindergarten, first, and second grade students sign into their Google accounts by scanning QR codes called Clever badges. This provides students a secure way to access great learning tools without needing to enter usernames and passwords. Students practice early digital citizenship skills by keeping their Clever badges safe and secure, not sharing their badge with anyone, and staying on the website the teacher directs them to.
Second, third and fourth graders at Franklin practice digital citizenship skills by learning how to post appropriate online responses and communicate in an online discussion. This takes place using Google Classroom, a safe secure area for our students to practice with their teacher's guidance. Students learn to consider their audience as well as purpose for communication. They also learn the importance of creating a positive digital footprint.
