When we talk about online safety, keyboard shortcuts, or computer lab expectations, students can look up and find the information around them. This has been especially helpful for reinforcing routines and expectations without stopping instruction. The visuals support independent learning and help students stay focused and engaged during technology time.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building their digital skills through projects that involve safe internet use, typing, and creative work using classroom technology.
