Alan Resse from the school district Digital Teaching and learning department came and went over digital citizenship for our district. These are the topics he discussed:

  • Filtering iBoss filters monitors incoming and outgoing data.  On occasion things get through.
  • CIPA (Child Internet Protection Act) is a training that every student has each school year to learn about being safe on the internet as well as Digital Literacy
  • BARK monitoring monitors for inappropriate content and unsafe behaviors on school accounts
  • Alan recommended a book, Digital for Good: Raising Kids to Thrive in an Online World by Richard Culatta, for parents to learn about positive ways for kids to learn in an online world.
  • Interland gaming produced by Google is a fun way for students to learn about the internet and digital literacy
  • Net Safe Utah is also a good resource for parents
