Instructional Tidbits: Digital Citizenship LARK lessons should have been taught in each class (general ed & specials) if using student devices. Here is a tip- Have students practice getting devices out of carts and into carts. Just last week you had time dedicated to lining up correctly, passing in papers, walking in the hallway, etc. The same should be done for proper care and use of devices. Do not assume they know how to put the device in a cart and plug it in (especially with our chromebooks). They need explicit instruction on putting the device in the right slight (all are numbered), using the correct cord (not the one from the top or bottom), plugging in and pulling out the cord gently, etc. I would have 4 students at a time walk over and unplug their device, log in (if laptop/chromebook), shut down, and then plug back in. You could do a group here and there throughout the day all week to get plenty of practice in. A little time invested now will save time and devices later! Have you taken the Digital Citizenship Pledge yet?
