Thank you for making sure your students are following the digital device guidelines below:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Google searches<\/strong> \u2013 The internet is a great place but\n just allowing students to surf unsupervised or without an academic \npurpose can sometimes lead to unexpected results and consequences.&nbsp; \nInstead, have them utilize tools such as Discovery Education or World \nBook.<\/li><li><strong>Image searches<\/strong> \u2013 Searching for images should be \nmonitored and managed closely.&nbsp; Just telling students to google an image\n should not occur.&nbsp; The same applies to using other search engines such \nas Bing.&nbsp; Instead, direct students to the image search page that was \ncreated by our department.<\/li><li><strong>Free Time and Rainy Day Recess<\/strong> \u2013 At no time should \nstudents be given \u201ciPad Free Time\u201d&nbsp; Whether it be during rainy day \nrecess, snack time, waiting for the bus, before school, or when they \nfinish their work, students should not have free time on the iPad.&nbsp; \nThere should always be a reason for using devices so that screen time is\n purposeful.<\/li><li><strong>Apple Classroom<\/strong> \u2013 This tool allows teachers to \nmonitor and manage student use.&nbsp; All teachers should know how to use \nthis tool.&nbsp; If they don\u2019t, schedule a coach to come over and conduct a \nstaff or small group training or refresher.<\/li><li><strong>AUP and Digital Citizenship Lessons<\/strong> \u2013 After \nreturning from break it would be a great time to review the AUP and the \ndigital citizenship lessons.
