Dist. 211 student panel promotes digital 'best practices'
Students in Palatine-Schaumburg Township High School District 211 collaborated on a Digital Democracy Committee, one that recommended some "best practices" for teenagers to abide by when using social media.
The student-led group was set up to discuss, create awareness and develop expectations for best practices and behavior while using technology both in and outside of the classroom.
The group designed a poster to encourage positive behaviors:
• Think before posting.
• Abide by classroom technology expectations.
• Use personal social apps and games outside of class time.
• Ask before you share pictures, take video or record another person.
• Be original, be honest, avoid cheating.
• Remember, your iPad is school issued. Keep it clean.
