Dear Parents:<\/p>\n
I hope this finds you well!<\/p>\n
just wanted to take a quick moment to advise all of you that many students from our class\u00a0are using Google Hangouts (a chat room through Google if you have gmail.)\u00a0This is not something\u00a0recommended or encouraged\u00a0by me through our District tools, and it is unmonitored conversation occurring between students. Students are using their private gmail accounts for this and they are doing it after hours, while not at school.<\/p>\n
I would recommend that you please\u00a0check in with your child to ensure they are using this appropriately. While most conversation is no doubt friendly and positive, I think it would be a good idea to check in with them. Please also refer to my previous post on the blog\u00a0about technology and safe social media practice.<\/p>\n
I will also be addressing in class again\u00a0the appropriate things that can be discussed online. While it is great to talk with people and have a chat online, it is not appropriate, for example, to talk about other people from class\u00a0who are not part of the chat at the time.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your help and support as we teach them to use their tech tools in appropriate and safe ways.<\/p>\n
Kind Regards,<\/p>\n
