Digital Citizenship

Panorama Hills School Acceptable Use Policy

Technology instruction is integrated into all curricular areas throughout the year and is accepted as an essential tool for teaching and learning. We do not have scheduled computer time in a lab,as teachers and students access technology when,where and how it is needed. 

The expanding infusion of technology into the instructional day truly enhances the learning environment within Panorama Hills School. Students are engaged and learning is much more personalized when technology is accessed when it is needed and connects to learning. It is important to educate students on the ethical and responsible use of technologies. The term "digital citizenship" is used to define the important elements of the use of technology by everyone. As a CBE school, Panorama Hills School will be committed to the education and modeling of this practice for all users. Panorama Hills School is a safe, caring, and respectful learning community. In alignment with our vision for deep intellectually engaging Inquiry we wish to prepare children to be thoughtful and effective digital citizens
