21. Technology Be a GREAT Digital Citizen Technology is changing the way we communicate and learn in classrooms. There will be times students are asked to use technology, ie. tablets, cellphones, laptops; however, there will be times you are asked not to use technology. Students are asked to be respectful and work with teachers to find innovative ways to use technology to enhance their learning. Reinforce digital citizenship at home. www.surreyschools.ca/schools/earlmarriott/Pages/default Twitter: @earlMarriottSec
