Are You Safe?

As we celebrate a day filled with scary movies, creepy costumes and haunted houses how careful are you online? Although Cyber Security Awareness Month is coming to a close, we continue to remind students about cyber safety and encourage them to THINK throughout the year.

What about you? Do you think about your own online activity?

TED gathered some interesting thoughts here from two TED Talkers on the information you share without even knowing it. I think I'm going to have some curly fries for dinner.

A few Cyber Safety resources:
Digital Citizenship across the curriculum
Essential elements of digital citizenship
Resources from Atomic Learning
Resources from Edutopia

The school year is off and running. I think several people feel like me, the tortoise, while everyone around is in a sprint. We want to help you keep up with the pack and have posted some additional FOCUS Grade book support videos.

These videos can be found on the PfISD Teacher Focus Support page. http://www.pfisd.net/Page/5672

You can also scroll down on the PfISD home page and click the Focus link in the right menu bar to reach the Teacher Support page. The videos can be viewed on the PISDvid YouTube Channel as well. 

The Teacher Support page also contains links to PDF training documents for Focus. In addition the Focus portal page contains links to the Focus University Courses in the bottom right.

We hope these tips are helpful and keep you ahead of the curl...
