- 7. 4th Grade Digital Citizenship Contract Responsible Use of Technology I agree to use computers, Chromebooks, iPads, cameras, or any other technology devices responsibly, with good intentions and a respectful voice - at home, at school, and elsewhere. “Respect & use the technology that you are using by being careful with these devices and not leaving them on the ground or near water or food.” I agree to honor this technology use agreement along with the expectations of my parents. I will get parental permission before visiting/joining websites or opening any online accounts. “Get permission from your grown up before joining anything like an iO game, miniclip, Instagram, or Scratch, etc”. 4. I will not share my password with anyone other than my adult and my teachers. I agree to not login to someone else’s account, open another person’s work, documents, photos, etc. I also agree to log out anyone from their Drive account if I find it open. If we use another person’s words, photos, etc. in my own work, I will cite it (say where I got it) appropriately as my source. “We will make sure to not copy or take someone else’s words/work/photos and act as if they are ours”. 5. I agree to handle disagreements, misunderstandings, and all other problems face to face, with the support of an adult, NOT with technology. If another person tries to engage me in this way using technology, I will “take it offline” and seek help from an adult. “Please don’t continue to argue over things while online, instead ask an adult to help get you out of the argument”.

Editor's Notes
- Increasing awareness of the impact of our digital lives on individual relationships and the community. Things have changed rapidly. Teaching third grade even 10 years ago, the conversation felt different. What happens to conversations when they become virtual? What is the impact on navigating conflicts, building connections, etc. All important questions to ask.
