Digital Charter
Digital Leaders and Learners at Menstrie Primary School have developed a ‘Digital Charter’.
The leaders asked their classes for views and discussed the points at a meeting. They agreed that the wording should be understood by everyone from P1 to P7.
- I will always take care of the computers and digital devices.
- I will put computers and digital devices back where I got them and put them on charge if they need it.
- I will use computers and digital devices to access activities that a teacher or suitable adult has told or allowed me to use.
- I will be safe and sensible when using digital technology and let a teacher or suitable adult know if I see something that upsets me.
- I will ask for help from a teacher or suitable adult if I am not sure what to do or think I have done something wrong.
- I will keep my log in details safe and not share with others.
- I know that if I break the rules, my digital access might get taken away.
