In developing digital citizens our students have to know basic computer skills in order develop their skills and that of their classmates. One way in which we started off using our updated computers was by introducing our Computer License to our students in a fun and positive way. This enabled the whole class to learn the basics of computers, logging on and off from the server and being taught by each other. This was a very positive and was Student led. As the teacher I taught two leaders and walked them through the license and procedures. They in turn taught two more students and with the focus of a 100 percent class pass rate, they implemented the process with success. This was a chain effect and within the week all students had obtained their computer license in a fun rewarding way. Encompassed in this license students learnt procedures in which to view online material critically and to continually make good decisions about what they are viewing.
