Paul Davis came into our school today to discuss the importance of internet safety. He explained how anything you put on the internet has a digital trail. Even photos from Snapchat can reside as ghost files on your phone. This was an important lesson for students and staff, as many of us believe that when we delete something it will disappear. He will be speaking to parents tonight about teaching their children how to stay safe and accountable on the internet.

Yesterday, we hosted 100 students at the Education Centre with the purpose of team building, goal setting, and skill development. Students worked with people from other academies to create a sense of community. Veronica Funk, a local Airdrie artist, delivered a presentation on the importance of social media. She spoke about the importance of maintaining a professional digital footprint, and how you can manipulate social media to network and share your work in your professional field.
Rick Gaudio and Dan McWilliams demonstrated how to create a professional head shot and Artist Declaration. Students were then able to practice their photography skills on each other to create professional shots for their online portfolios. In groups of two, students interviewed each other to help create a quick biography for their website. These skills are imperative for learning how to engage online in a professional manner. Finally, students finished off the retreat by creating SMART goals. This will help students create measurable goals that can be attain this year. Overall, it was a productive day! |
