Internet Safety Reflection

It's important for any adult authority figure to model correct, lawful behavior around students. That includes practicing good cyber ethics and safety.

Anytime my students are to use a computer a for my class, I'll be sure to remind them of the pitfalls that social media and the internet contain. I could also address it as part of unit on crime and the justice system in a government/civics class. History and the social studies generally require a lot of research type papers, so a lesson how to do proper research would easily fit a section on proper use of intellectual properties and internet safety.

The fliers, brochures and what not that we've created could easily be included in geography classes for part of a country report, in history as a mini biography or in government for election campaigns. The possibilities are near endless!
