Students in 1st - 5th grade at Sibley and Lakeview have received their AUP, Internet Safety & Cyberbullying training for the 2014-2015 school year.
Through conversations and videos we discussed ways to be responsible using technology, how to be safe online, and what to do if we happen to run into a cyber bully.
We covered many important points that are detailed below:
Technology in the district is for learning.
Different types of technology in our district are:

Some things you do at home might not be acceptable at school.

personal information about yourself on the Internet (last name, phone number,
address, etc.)

a computer with another person’s information.
