found out during the assignment. |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| Visit the Safe Kids website (www.safekids.com) and review all materials
under the link "Safety Advice," located at the top of the page. Think
about what you think it means for kids to use the Internet safely. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| Students will research the information on the links "Child Safety
on the Information Highway" and "Child Safety Search." Think critically
about this information and why you think the site authors think it
is important. Be sure to note three Internet safety facts for kids
that you already knew, and three that you did not. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| After reviewing both sections, students will click on the link to
the "Child Safety Quiz." Complete the quiz and write down your test
results. REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN THREE FACTS YOU ALREADY KNEW AND THREE
THAT YOU JUST LEARNED! |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| After reviewing the materials addressing safe and unsafe Internet
practices, write a one page reflection paper describing three things
you learned from the lesson and three things you already knew. Then
explain how what you did not know about Internet safety will affect
your future Internet activity. Also write three sentences about how
you will improve upon what you already knew about Internet safety
for kids. Will you stop using Wikipedia or Google for some reason?
Can you identify any sites that are considered unsafe for kids to
generally use? |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| Students may choose to either turn in their written findings or
they may read their finding orally to the class, explaining what they
already knew, what they did not know, and how they intend to change
their online behavior moving forward. No matter which way you complete
the assignment, be prepared to list three facts you already knew and
three that you did not know. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
| Students will demonstrate an understanding of the material through
explaining at least three facts they learned and three that they already
knew. Students will further elaborate by explaining what sorts of
sites are the safest for kids and which are less safe. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| After completing this lesson, think about why kids should not be
able to simply roam the Internet freely without supervision. What
are some of the risks you face? |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| Students progress will be based on demonstrating at least six facts
about safely navigating the Internet(Three they knew and three they
just learned). Students will also be evaluated based on listing known
dangers they face online. |
