This will allow students' devices to connect to the wireless network. You will receive an email from Information Technology Services confirming completion of the work. If you are unsure please contact the CBE Helpdesk (helpdesk@cbe.ab.ca).

Step 2

Delegate

Principals may identify a school designate – this may be a staff member or a team - to coordinate the school’s re-affirmation process for their digital citizenship plan. It would be beneficial for at least one person on the team to have some D2L experience.

The school designate will be the primary contact person/group for Innovation and Learning Technology and will both provide and receive information and resources needed to support moving this work forward in the building.

To get support, ask questions or clarify aspects of the reaffirmation process, please contact Sue Bell – Education Specialist: Teaching and Learning at smbell@cbe.ab.ca.

Step 3

Step 4

Module

Have teachers complete a digital citizenship module that may be administered face-to-face with staff or accessed by staff online through D2L. The D2L module contains resources for both a face-to-face digital citizenship workshop and an online module. Because some of the content is licensed from the Media Awareness Network, it is only available within the password-protected D2L environment. Please contact a CLT Specialist for access to the resources.

Step 5

Letters

Send a letter to parents/guardians regarding issues relating to the school's digital citizenship plan, the CBE's acceptable use policy, filtering procedures and student use of the wireless network.
