Internet Safety Activities Ch 6

This chapter focuses on cyber citizenship and "netiquette" sense. Netiquette is etiquette for the internet, for example: respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people. It is important to educate our students on this matter, because a large part of the interactions will be through the internet so proper behavior is key. A key for texting is also included, which I think most teachers would agree is something majorly needed. Another chat is included where students can find questionable things that have been stated and identify the problem as well. There is a research activity that is include that have the students look up their state's cyber bullying law. This would inform students of what is going on in there state, which can only further improve their cyber safety knowledge. I noticed in these student pages that not many are include and when they are they are almost all writing activities. I would guess this is for early high school students, which would be a great unit since the topic is so relevant to their lives. Our students must be taught the proper way to behave on the internet since so much of their professional lives will incorporate the internet.
