4th Grade CyberSafety Academy

The 4th grade students are finishing the year picking an Internet Safety topic to explore more in depth.  They are using a wiki, developed by another WCSD Technology Teacher, titled CyberSafety Academy.  The 4 topics the students are allowed to pick from are:

How's Your Cy-Q
Copyright and Plagiarism
Cyberbullies
Viruses, Pop-Ups, and Spam

Once they picked their topic they then used a KWH chart on the computer to type out:

what they already Know
What they want to find out
How are they going to find it

Once they find all of this information, using related web sites on the CyberSafety Academy wiki, they then will use either KidPix3D, KerPoof or MakeBeliefsComix to create a story, poster or card related to the information they learned and they want others to know about.

They will be finishing this up before the end of the school year and will be bringing home their finished KWH chart and finish story, poster or card related to their Internet Safety Topic information.
