Digital Citizenship
Providing Parent Information to Connect Families
LPS 1st Digital Citizenship Week was a great success!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ms. Walsh emphasized the importance for parents to put limits on the children in where and when they can use their computers and smartphones. She urged parents to say the devices should not be taken into bedrooms but only used in designated areas of the home.
Moreover, Ms. Walsh encouraged parents to set aside time for electronic devices to be put away so that parents and kids can interact together face-to-face. She also urged parents to model for the kids the behaviors they want to see emulated regarding the use of smartphones and computers. There are times to turn off the electronics and pay attention to the people."

Bringing Computer science to our school!
"Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you heard about the Hour of Code last year, you might know it made history. In the first Hour of Code, 15 million students tried computer science. Last year, that number increased to 60 million students! The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics." https://hourofcode.com/us/how-to/public-officials
