Digital Media Unit

Our UOI this term is all about digital media.  What it is, how it is used, how to be safe when using it and our responsibilities when using it.  It is a paperless unit, designed to see both the positives and negatives of using digital media.
The teachers are using the 'Google Classroom' platform to set assignments.  I have added the link to the side menu so you can have a look.  The students have signed in using their Beacon email and password.
There are a few things that we ask when working on this unit.
  1. Please read the assignments.  There are some set that are only for the classroom.  These will clearly state not to do them at home.  As we have all the details about when and were the kids are submitting work we will delete anything that has been done at home.  In order to properly assess the kids we need to know we are marking their work.
  2. Be mindful that your child may ask you for access to your home computer.  Kids should never be left alone with a computer so have them work in a place that you can easily see what they are doing.
