The Media Center at Roberts Elementary is an exciting place! Each week I have the great pleasure of working with every Roberts Elementary student. We use our 50 minutes together discovering new authors, learning how to find great books using the Dewey Decimal System and our electronic card catalog system, as well as improving technology skills and the students ability to access meaningful information online. We are fortunate to have various forms of technology available to us, as well as educational software and web based tools, that help to improve learning for our students. It is essential that we spend time exploring how to be safe online and how to navigate the digital world appropriately. Students use the various tools to create projects using digital media and present to an audience. All of these skills will aid in achieving 21st Century Skills!
Roberts students will learn how to be safe online and navigate the cyberworld in a productive, educational way. We will work with students to aid them in becoming productive digital citizens. Check out Common Sense Media for great information on great sites, apps, books, movie reviews and more!
Utica Community Schools Acceptable Use of Technology
All students are required to follow rules when using technology. They include respecting all equipment in order to keep it in good working condition as well as respecting student accounts and using positive communication.
Students are invited to check out one great book each week from our library. Research shows that reading to and with your child each day greatly improves his/her love of reading as well as overall achievement in school. Remember to read 20 MINUTES A DAY! Check out this great site that shares why reading each day is so important. http://www.k12reader.com/
Also, please help your child keep his/her library book in a safe and consistent place at home so that they can be enjoyed and returned in good condition and on time.
