Internet Safety
Teaching Students the Right Way to Use the Internet
What's the Big Deal Anyway??
Investigating!
How do we know what to do? How do we know there are even bad things out there?
Our part!
It's important to know how we can be safe! We can't always depend on adults being around to help us out in this so we need to know what to do to stay careful.
The tricksters are out there!
Not everything on the internet is what it seems- there are people up to bad stuff!
Becoming the Investigator!
One lesson Idea from a teacher librarian
YOU are to become the detective in this project! I will give you 3 web sites to look at.
"[analyze information such as the site's] author, sponsoring organization, copyright date, contents, [and] purpose … and compare the information on the website to information in nonfiction reference sources [and] online databases. The catch is that one of the three websites is a hoax! [It's YOUR job] to figure out which website is the hoax."
After [you] have looked at all three websites and figured out which one is the hoax, share what [you] found with their classmates about the hoax site that made them question its authenticity.
