4th Grade Welcome to the Web

The 4th grade students have finished learning about the Internet and Internet Safety using the Welcome to the Web web site.  They are now starting the "Challenge" where they are using the skills and information they learned to complete a fun game/challenge activity.  The ideas and information the students learn within technology are useful during the school day, but should most importantly be applied to uses at home.
The 4th grade students will soon be bringing home a green colored, "Our Family's Safety Contract,"   > > > > > > > > > >
sheet where there will be 9 things to think about when using the Internet along with 2 additional things the students write down on their own.  This sheet will need to be signed by both the parent(s) and student(s) and then brought back for Mr. Morton to verify.  This will then be sent back home for you to keep next to your computer to be viewable every time your student surfs the Internet.

Things that you should be able to talk to your students about related to the Internet and Internet Safety are:
Hyperlinks
SMART
Web Browsers
Search Tips
Copying and Pasting Text
