Private Browsing:
Today we talked about how some browsers have private tab settings where you can open a tab that does not show up on your internet history.  Mrs. Hill and I explained to the students that to be on a private page is a serious technology violation that would result in the immediate loss of technology and require a conference with Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Wood, BFA technology staff (they work with Mrs. Hill on our technology), and me.  The big question was, "If it's private how would you know?"  We explained that, as in all things, digital citizenship requires honesty, respect, and responsibility. Just because you might not get caught does not make it okay to do.
I am providing some links to let you read about this if you wish.
Mozilla    and     Chrome
We haven't had any issues with this (that we know!!) and a lot of the kids already knew about private browsing.  We reminded the students that unlike footprints in the snow, dirt, or sand your digital footprints stay with you forever!  
Reminder:
This is the last week before vacation.  I hope you enjoy the warm weather for tonight!
