Internet Safety Tip -Email Scams
Always be on the lookout for fraudulent emails:
- These often contain malware, viruses and phishing sites.
- Do not click on any links in emails from senders you do not recognize.
- If you do click on a link and the URL does not match the company or purpose, leave the site immediately.
- Never enter your District credentials into any website other than the District Office 365 log in page, Classlink, or Infinite Campus.
Let's Celebrate OES!
OES 5th Grade 1:1 Initiative
The students and staff at Ogden Elementary School are so excited that the implementation of our 1:1 Chromebook initiative is off to a great start! We have started our 5th grade Tech Time class with a unit on digital citizenship in which the students learned about appropriate use, finding trustworthy information, and appropriately citing work. We are moving into more interactive units, including coding and engineering, and will spiral back to digital citizenship responsibilities throughout the year. Teachers are balancing instruction by using Chromebooks during some class lessons, using apps such as Nearpod and Google Apps for Education. Students are having fun practicing skills and studying for tests through teacher-selected and monitored sites such as IXL and Quizlet. We are excited to see what we can accomplish with this powerful tool!
