Introduction
Students will be introduced to internet safety. To do this I will do the following:
We will view Faux Paw the Techno Cat video
Students will then be introduced to NetSmartz.org. Using this site, we will view a couple of the internet safety videos and discuss the importance of “safely” using the internet and how to safely surf the net.
Students will then be allowed to explore Netsmartz.org. While exploring this website, they will be required to take note of a minimum of 5 internet safety rules.
Assignment
Using the 5 internet safety rules that the students researched using NetSmartz.org, each student will create a slide show using Microsoft Power Point demonstrating what they learned.
You will be creating a 7 slide Power Point Presentation
Open up a new Power Point presentation.
Slide 1- Introduction. You will have the title Internet Safety Rules, your name and hour.
Slides 2-6- Will each contain 1 internet rule that you discovered when researching the NetSmartz web page. Your rule should be typed on the line that you would normally put the title.
In the body of each slide you MUST give more details about each rule and give more details about the rule.
Slide 7- Bibliography: Please site the website that you use to locate your internet safety rules (Hint:NetSmartz)
