Here is a list of 10 commitments that "I WILL" do for kids and parents.
Big T's Top 10 Ten Tech Promises
1. I WILL teach your children how to use devices properly.
2. I WILL teach your children how to use the internet safely. Your children will learn that they leave a "digital footprint" that shows what they've said, what they've done, and where they've been.
3. I WILL teach your children how to treat each other with respect online "Treating others the way you want to be treated" applies to online conversations, too.
4. I WILL teach your children how to make the right choices during video chats, whether it's between two people, twenty people, or 200 people.
5. I WILL be very protective of your children onine. I will never use the full name of your children, nor will they be featured in an image, or have any work voluntarily displayed without your permission. If your child has a conversation with someone, such as on Teams during school hours, it will be with someone I know.
6. I WILL let parents and guardians know if their children are struggling to make good digital choices.
7. I WILL not expect your children to spend the majority of their school time on a computer or tech device. (Unless they are very engaged in extending their learning on a topic online and you give consent.) Children need to be able to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from life away from the screen of a computer, phone, or a tablet.
8. I WILL not demand that your children do anything online that I wouldn't want to do myself.
9. I WILL not let digital devices replace me as a teacher or your children as thinkers and learners. Computers, tablets, and phones are tools to help us communicate, complete tasks, learn, and explore. After all, we are people, not robots!
10. I WILL make myself available to you if you have any questions or concerns. I will reply to you as soon as I am able. If I can't reach or reply to you online, I will try on the phone, with a text message from Infinite Campus, or with a handwritten note.
