In conjunction with the guidance department, our 8th graders will finish out the year taking a glance at the College Foundation of North Carolina's college and career planning page. They will create their own high school account which can be accessed at any time to help motivated and engaged students plan for their futures. The link is here.

Technology and Internet Safety
The StMM Technology lab, in conjunction with our guidance department, promote Internet Safety and responsible use of technology with our students throughout the school year. Some of these activities include:
Review of StMM Technology Policy
Annual Internet Safety Week
2011 Presentation
The 2012 Internet Safety Week’s focus was on what technology our students are using and how often. This report and this video formed the basis for class discussions.
2013 Presentation with Results of cyberbullying survey
Research Ethics Lessons
Plagiarism, Copyright and Fair Use Lessons
Permanent Internet Safety Section on every middle school Moodle page
and the creation of a new Technology Group for middle school students interested in promoting
Internet Safety through responsible use of Technology at StMM.
These are a few additional links and resources to help you promote these issues at home:
