A recent St. Anne Parrish School Facebook post reads:
“DID YOU KNOW…?…
Saint Anne is a COMMON SENSE School!
As a Common Sense School, Saint Anne Parish School commits to responsible, effective technology use. We provide students, teachers, and parents with the latest strategies for digital learning and responsible digital citizenship. As a Common Sense School community, we ensure ALL stakeholders have the skills they need to be informed digital citizens. Saint Anne’s Common Sense certification reflects our ongoing commitment to innovative and transformational use of technology.
‘My favorite part about teaching Common Sense was when we were identifying if a website was a credible source. The lesson started with a “fake news” article about how corn is harmful to a person’s health. The students were shocked for a few minutes but quickly caught on to the objective of the lesson!’
-Mrs. Caitlin Quest, Saint Anne Middle School Teacher
‘I wouldn’t say finding out the truth about cookies excited the 8th graders as much as it floored them. Prior to our Common Sense lessons, the 8th graders had no idea what digital cookies were, much less the amount of personal information they collect. After the lesson, they were all determined to check their privacy settings and not allow cookies on their devices.’
-Mrs. Jaime Doud, Saint Anne Middle School Teacher”
