  2. What is this all about? What is the purpose of this pilot? • To better understand how 1:1 digital devices can be used in a productive, purposeful learning environment. • We plan to educate the entire community about how powerful technology can be in the classroom for learning. • We will help students become responsible digital citizens.

  3. What is good digital citizenship? • Today's kids need new skills to behave safely and responsibly online. • Good digital citizenship follows the same basic rules as good citizenship in the offline world. • Filters only prevent some kinds of unsuitable material being accessed via your computer; teachers and parents still need to be vigilant. • It's important for teachers and parents to model good online behaviour – such as courtesy, obeying the law (not downloading something illegally) and protecting yourself. • http://www.schoolatoz.nsw.edu.au/technology/using-technology/raising-good-digital-citizens
