District Wide Information

Profiles for Technology (ICT) Literate Students
This week's example is from the Profiles for Technology Literate Students for grades 3-5. 
8. Practice injury prevention by applying a variety of ergonomic strategies when using technology. (5)

This profile seems to fit well with teaching students about physical dangers in using technology such as carpal tunnel syndrome, eyestrain, poor posture.  Teaching students to take frequent breaks from using technology to prevent some of these physical dangers.  Although this is profile is a focus for grades 3-5, this profile is one to remind students of all ages.

1. Creativity and Innovation
2. Communication and Collaboration
3. Research and Information Fluency
4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making
5. Digital Citizenship
6. Technology Operations and Concepts
