Be Respectful, Responsible, & Safe

When I use technology, I will remember to:
• Be gentle and careful with all equipment.
• Have clean hands – sanitize!
• Sit correctly.
• Keep food, drinks, or magnets away from computers.
• Use only polite language in email, chat, and cyberspace.
• Not touch or copy other another person’s files or work.
• Stay away from online ads.
• Only go to appropriate, approved websites.
• Tell an adult if I see something inappropriate.
• Follow the directions I am given.
• Type carefully, especially when I’m online.
• Keep personal information private and help my friends to do the same.
• Remember that people that I meet online are still strangers and I should not meet them face to-face.

Back to School

And so begins another year of ICT (Information & Communication Technology) at New Hampton Community School! ICT is a blend of 21st century library skills and basic computer technology skills. While at NHCS, each child builds a digital portfolio of technology projects completed in ICT class or in the classroom. Check back often - many of these projects will be featured on this blog as well as other goings-on in our ICT classes across the grades.
