Celebrate Banned Websites Awareness Day on October 3 during Banned Books Week! 

Many schools have very restrictive filtering software that blocks websites that can be very useful in educational research. Teaching kids how to be safe on the Internet and how to find and use quality websites can have a more beneficial effect than blocking sites completely. CHCCS Librarians  and Technology  Facilitators are incorporating Digital Citizenship lessons throughout the year to ensure that students are educated about best practices when using the internet. We will be using the "Internet Safety" video from Brain Pop Jr. with our younger students this week at the Hospital School. Safe searching!
