Safe, Appropriate, and Ethical Use of Technology Statement:

Whenever we use technology in the classroom, I will closely monitor
activity. The students will be given a specific website to go to and to
remain only on that website. Technology is a privilege to be able to use
in the classroom and a great tool, so I want to convey this to my
students. The first time this is abused, we will no longer use technology
in the way where the students have unlimited access.
