What are we supposed to do?
You have been selected to defend the use of the Internet to the parents of your school. It is your job to prove to the parents that you and your classmates understand how to be safe on the Internet. You only have one chance to convince them that the Internet should not be banned from your school. Your class will be divided up into pairs and each pair of students will research one aspect of Internet Safety: Cyberbullying, Netiquette, Social Networking, or Information Privacy. When your research is complete, you and your partner will use the information to create and then present a glog that shows what you have learned about Internet Safety.
As a class, we will also create a list of rules for staying safe on the Internet, and a list of proper “netiquette” rules that we will agree to follow when using the Internet. These rules will be displayed at school as a reminder to act responsibly when using the Internet.
Remember, you and your partner are trying to persuade your parents to vote in favor of allowing the Internet back into the school. Work hard to convince them that you know how to use it safely and responsibly and why it is important to do so.
What am I responsible for?
Each student will be responsible for completing the following items:
- Answer questions about your assigned topic
- Write down some rules about Internet Safety and proper "netiquette"
- Create a glog, with your partner, using the information you collected
- Present your glog to the class
- Become an expert in Internet Safety
