Selecting digital resources for students in your classroom means considering all the requirements for a print resource and some additional considerations. 

00:00:09.664 --> 00:00:14.992
With a print resource, the interaction is one-way between the student and the material. 

00:00:15.456 --> 00:00:18.944
With a digital resource, data may be automatically collected 

00:00:18.976 --> 00:00:21.376
while the resource is being accessed.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.872
So your first and most important consideration is to protect students. 

00:00:27.584 --> 00:00:34.592
If you’re the kind of person who tends to quickly “click and accept” when installing apps for your personal use, 

00:00:34.656 --> 00:00:36.672
slow down. 

00:00:37.388 --> 00:00:43.472
Remember that for student use, you need to review carefully before you “agree” and proceed.  

00:00:44.296 --> 00:00:49.892
When selecting digital resources for students, you’ll need to understand how to review websites and apps 

00:00:49.948 --> 00:00:53.984
to determine what personal information is being collected and retained.

00:00:54.496 --> 00:00:58.112
You’ll also need to know how that information could be used.

00:00:59.328 --> 00:01:04.180
You might want to start with resources that have already been reviewed and curated.

00:01:04.768 --> 00:01:09.888
As a BC educator, you and your students have access to a suite of safe,

00:01:09.908 --> 00:01:14.052
quality digital resources. Available from school and home,

00:01:14.148 --> 00:01:17.344
these can be used to support curriculum and instruction. 

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.880
As well, Focused ED reviews websites that have strong educational content, 

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.032
created by authentic, reliable sources, and without ads or fees. 

00:01:28.832 --> 00:01:34.216
Your district or school may also have a list of approved digital resources you can use. 

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.708
You’ll need to become familiar with your local policies and procedures. 

00:01:39.744 --> 00:01:46.152
If you want to use a digital resource not listed on an approved collection, be aware that U.S. and 

00:01:46.208 --> 00:01:52.560
international websites may not meet B.C. or Canadian legal requirements.

00:01:52.972 --> 00:01:55.180
Start by locating the Privacy Terms.  

00:01:55.328 --> 00:02:01.344
These should be clearly displayed and available for review, often at the bottom of a website

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.984
or as a prompt when you’re installing an app.

00:02:05.216 --> 00:02:08.960
Do some detecting to find out more about the resource. 

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.488
The Digital Privacy Guide provides all the criteria you need to review and consider in making your selection.  

00:02:23.188 --> 00:02:33.188
Proceed with caution if a resource falls often into the Pause or Stop column. Check in with your local team before using it. 

00:02:33.328 --> 00:02:37.488
If you’re satisfied the resource meets all privacy and selection criteria, 

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.696
you may decide to use it with your students.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.760
Digital resources are continually being updated. 

00:02:43.856 --> 00:02:50.348
If you want to use the resource at a future date, confirm that it still meets the criteria.  

00:02:50.224 --> 00:02:53.328
You’re the final check in maintaining privacy. 

00:02:53.456 --> 00:02:57.336
Keep yourself, and your students, safe!
