December is Information Literacy Month here at GES.  As part of our ongoing commitment to be a Common Sense Certified School for Digital Citizenship and keeping our students safe at school AND at home, we are sharing a series of Common Sense Media tips for parents.  Please watch this short video and discuss it with your child.  Together, we can keep your child safe while searching online.



Common Sense Education's Best Apps and Websites for Learning Programming and Coding
Computers intersect with every aspect of kids' lives, but most kids don't understand how they work. Through coding, students build essential literacy skills, gain an understanding of logic and sequence, and learn the mechanics of iteration. These tools support project-based learning and give students the freedom to create, collaborate, hack, remix, and tinker with their own unique designs. Using these picks, kids can unlock the logic of code and the basics of programming, turning computers into tools to make new things.
