Ask students to explain or demonstrate each local policy or classroom rule associated with the use of digital resources and devices.

Examples:

  • What are our rules about how we treat people when we are online? Why is this important?
  • What are our rules when we finish using our computers? Why is this rule important?
  • What are our rules about passwords? Why is it important to have password rules?
Glossary terms and definitions are consistent across kindergarten through high school in the TEKS Guide. The definitions are intended to give educators a common understanding of the terms regardless of what grade level they teach. Glossary definitions are not intended for use with students.
