The students are still learning how to use the mouse. They will start learning how to access their games and activities on their own, without having the computers ready for them when they enter the computer lab.

Monday, August 31

We've reviewed the rules for the lab and learned about internet safety:

1) I will tell my trusted adult if anything makes me feel sad, scared, or confused.

2) I will ask my trusted adult before sharing information like my name, address, and phone number.

3) I won't meet face-to-face with anyone from the internet.

4) I will always use good netiquette and not be rude or mean online.

Now we get to practice using the computers! Let's start with our mouse skills.
