Netbooks Go Home

Wow!  The past couple weeks have been busy!  The teachers, students, and I have been working hard to make sure that we are becoming good digital citizens.  Today, we finished up the last of the testing for students.  With the passing of the assessments, students were able to take their netbooks home.  They were all so excited!  Some hints:

• Students should power down at school and power back up at home.  
• Please encourage students to wait until they get home to take their netbook out of the bag.  We are hearing that some students are getting netbooks out on the bus.  This is not practicing good digital citizenship.
• Remember that we are all learning right now.  There will be lots of lessons for all of us along the way.  

Over Labor Day weekend, be sure that the netbook is kept in a safe location.  Cars can get extremely hot and be tough on the netbooks.  Find a secure spot in your home for the netbook.  

Enjoy practicing good digtal citizenship!!!
