The new group of 8th graders enrolled in Community Class have turned their attention to digital identity in preparation for a January 20th presentation to parents.

The Parent Education committee has requested an evening to discuss “what exactly do students know about social networking and tech usage in general.” The 8th grade sees this as an opportunity to educate parents about screen-time, gaming and social networks and to teach parents what kind of questions to ask.

The class has split into 3 groups:

  1. Parent/Teacher survey about screen-time and online habits, both for the parent and for their children
  2. Student survey about digital device interaction (texting, accessing media, gaming, etc)
  3. An online resource website for parents with links to studies, news stories and FAQ around digital identity.

Results will be posted once data gathering is complete!
