Teachers, please be sure you are logging your class' activities in the lab in the usage log notebook.

The Rowan-Salisbury School System is providing som new tools for teachers and students. 

One is NetTrekker. It is a powerful tool to aid internet searches. It filters out inappropriate content, which removes useless hits that overwhelmingly clutter the results of internet searches. It can easily be used at school because access is automatic, though certain features are only accessible by logging in as an individual user. It can also be used at home. This requires a person to log-in to access the service. See me to get the assigned username and password  for you and/or your students.

Another tool being made available is called EDU 2.0. It is a tool for connecting education to the world. It allows educators and their students to connect with one another via the internet in a safe monitored environment. This promises to be a very empowering tool as we all learn more about it.

Here is some important information concerning copyright. 

As we teach children in the digital age, it is important that we provide them with the tools to learn and produce ethically. As technology advances, it is easier to find and use the intellectual property of others. So, it is more important than ever that we teach our students the concept of intellectual property and that we arm ourselves and our students, with the means to properly use and credit the ideas of others. Below is a link to a video that you may find useful for instructing yourself and your students on the importance of copyrights.
