What do you do when you have a sub in your classroom and you have the laptop with you at a training or home? The subs can't even use the document camera without the laptop, so what is the solution to this issue? Please let me know with this document and we can develop a procedure the district/campus.

Digital Citizenship Week
Below is the email Stuart Burt (@StuartBurt) shared with us this week about Digital Citizenship Week:
Each year, Common Sense Media hosts a week long series on Digital Citizenship. This years'digital citizenship week focuses on having discussions with students to get them started on the right foot in the digital world.Additionally, Zach Snow (@ZachSnow) is working on a Digital Parenting Course via Common Sense Media (@commonsense) for our parents to access. Be sure to share these resources with our parents in your class newsletters, emails, social media, conferences, and other conversations you have with the home:
I encourage you to check out the Digital Citizenship Week 2015 resources for teachers and parents. Have some discussions with your students and send the link home to parents. Some students will not have these discussions with their parents and it is up to us to prepare them not only for the online world, but for their future.
If you have never been on the Common Sense Media website, I encourage you to check it out. It has excellent resources for students, parents, and educators. They have curriculum for all grade levels, movie reviews, video game reviews, and much more. The best part is that its completely free. Check it out!
