Each week when Triton Elementary School third-graders go to the library they not only enjoy hearing stories, reading and picking out books to take with them to enjoy later, they also learn many things having to do with using computers in common-sense ways. Mrs. Shafer, the Triton Elementary librarian, has educated herself about a program called Common Sense Media, a curriculum used at more than 70,000 schools worldwide by teachers and students to learn about digital citizenship and literacy. Today she is showing students how to make smart searches to gain more understanding about topics they need to know. This will be a lifelong skill for students, but these third-graders will be putting their search skills to use next week as they research winter-related topics to complete a writing project in the classroom. Pictured are Allison Baer and Rayna Dickson.
