Techno-central!

We are living in a technology centered world, and it is important for all of us as teachers, students, and parents to try to keep up!  Knowing how to properly cite images is important for students as they learn more about copyright and keeping out of trouble in a digital world.  Being able to record videos, audio, and upload photos is great- but we have to make sure we do all of this properly!

As your teacher, I would like to encourage you to be careful of what you put on the internet.  We all make mistakes, but it's best to be conscious of how an image or video you put online is no longer just yours.  We will be taking another look at this in order to encourage you to keep you safe!
