A lot of this is covered in our SEL professional development. Feel free to share in this column if you have a shining example, but it's more well-trodden ground in teacher conversations so I'm not focused too intensely on it. An example of cultural literacy is effective code switching in language registers. An example of social literacy is navigating a conflict with a peer effectively.

A student's ability to use the computers to accomplish a goal. focused on the hardware of computers, or of the kind of skills necessary to use computers outside of specific programs or apps.

Example: a student last week showed me a keyboard shortcut I didn't know. ctrl+k turns the highlighted text into a hyperlink or brings up the link menu so the user can paste it in.

example: a student is able to identify bias in an article, or to identify that a 60 second video will not have all the information they need about a topic and they know where to find more

I am concerned about students' use and implicit trust in Google to find answers, especially considering the increasing prominence of the AI overview when Googling something.

Fishtank 6th Grade Unit 3 requires students to interpret the meaning of art from a variety of artists in several different media

From time to time, I'll ask students to find a place on Google Maps and simply observe the place. We've done this with Spokane Indiana for Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time and The US Marshall Islands for our climate change unit. What can you learn about a setting by observing is from both the street level and a bird's eye view?

Students often struggle with finding assignments/grades in Google Classroom or understanding how it works on a structural level.

Students were really successful with our slideshow project. Very quickly after showing them how to create slideshows, many students ran with it and created visually beautiful and organized Google Slides!

I am concerned about students technology literacy skills in an academic capacity. I think our students are very engaged with social media and they play video games, however those skills don't translate into ways to use technology in a productive way in the classroom.

Students have little experience with organizing digital file systems. If a document doesn't appear at the top of a student's "Recent" list on Google Drive, I don't know if they would be able to find it.

Students are pretty engaged when we use the "I notice," "I think," and "I wonder" protocol when we use it in class to look at images.

File organization! The concept of google drive has largely made file organization unnecessary, but I can't be convinced that some level of file organization/folder system doesn't make life easier in general

I find that many students don't have basic technology or typing skills. For example, some don't know that they tab key on the keyboard indents a sentence.

I am really concerned about kids physically taking apart parts of the Chromebooks and wearing them around their necks, breaking pieces off, drawing on the machines, etc. I kind of want them to see the work and expense that goes into each and every Chromebook. Maybe a trip to Jesus's workshop would be helpful, especially early on. There might be an option for some restorative justice work as well.

students don't know where files and screenshots are stored on the chromebook

most students know how to screenshot, and by 7th grade the copy/paste is usually solid.

Students need to learn communicate in a tone specific to the audience. Emailing your teacher in all capital letters and angry emojis is not going to get the response you want. Social media posting and more formal communication are different functions.

Students regularly mistreat their devices. In some ways, they're showing they understand how to use their Chromebook. Some know how to get around the firewall on their computer. In other ways, they are showing that they don't understand how the device works or how to use it (ripping apart the computers, etc.)
