Digital Footprints

Hopefully you all received the letter we sent home about "cloud storage". 

As we mentioned in the letter, all LAUSD students are assigned an LAUSD (name@mymail.lausd.net) email address.  We will be using these accounts to access some great built-in Google features this year. 

Each  account comes equipped with:

•         Email address (gmail with LAUSD branding)
•         Google Docs (a free web-based software suite that allows users to create and edit documents online)
•         Google Calendar
•         Cloud Storage

As we prepare to provide students with their LAUSD email, Google Docs, and cloud storage information, we will begin talking about internet safety.  This week we will discuss “digital footprints” – specifically, which information is “safe” information to disclose, and which information is private and should not be revealed online.
