In the Computer Lab 3rd Grade Parents: Welcome to Collaboration Station! All third graders recently opened their Google Drive accounts for the first time and began to create a slideshow about themselves. I want to tell you a little about this account and invite you to check it out with your child. Your child’s Collab account is a Google Drive account that is managed by the school district. It provides students with a digital space to create and save projects. These projects, which are mostly slideshows and documents, can be created by one student or shared among a group of students. The account also includes an email account that enables students to send and receive messages from other students and staff. (When students enter middle school, they will gain the power to email outside of this limited group.) We need your help! Parents are asked to monitor their child’s use of the account while encouraging kindness, caution, and respectful behavior. A blue letter went home with each student providing login details and the rules guiding the use of this account. We discussed these together in class and will revisit them as we get acquainted with our accounts over the next few months. Basically, the rules tell students that this account is for projects and messages that are connected to their learning, using words/pictures/search terms that are school-appropriate. Our administration investigates report of abuse of this account and students may lose the privilege of having an account if they demonstrate that they cannot work within these limits. Please contact your child’s teacher or myself if you or your child have questions or concerns about activity in Collab. There’s also a webpage of F.A.Q.s about Collab where you can find another copy of the blue letter and rules of use. As the saying goes, “With great power, comes great responsibility.” While students are thrilled to be working in their new accounts, it is our responsibility to guide them safely on the path toward respectful and responsible participation in a digital world. https://sites.google.com/apps.district196.org/skalskilab/collaboration-station
