In the Classroom:
If you know you will be using the Internet during class or assigning it for outside work, consider sharing some of the safety lessons ahead of time using a projector, especially with elementary and middle school students. Secondary English, information literacy, or computer teachers should consider requiring teens to report on an Internet safety topic as a research project as you are trying to both teach and USE research skills. This site could be a good topic-finder and starting point.
Provide a link on your teacher web page to give parents a resource for talking about internet safety with their children at home. Bookmark this site on a classroom computer for students to visit when they have free time. |
