Cyber Citizenship term 4

Last week we were able to finishing word processing and professional communications with business letters.  Students will spend time this week learning about cyber citizenship and information literacy, which involves learning how to use technology in ways that help them instead of hurting their futures.  The topics will include information literacy, social media, cyber bullying, online safety, and digital footprint.

At the conclusion of the unit, students will create a product that promotes awareness about information literacy and cyber citizenship.

Above is a video of some of the tools we will be learning how to use this week.
