In the Classroom
This will be a great addition to your health, guidance, or Internet safety program. Before showing the site, have students take the quiz. The quiz can even be embedded on your website. Afterwards, using your interactive whiteboard (or projector), have students watch the different videos. Using the information found on the site, have students create skits to show proper or improper ways to behave online. You may even want to extend student learning by having students create a class podcast using Acast, reviewed here.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
