Internet Safety Day!

Today, we will watch a pair of BrainPop movies to review key elements of Internet Safety - Online Safety and Information Privacy:




I would like you to then finish the Scavenger Hunt from last week, then if you have time, play a pair of games to explore issues of web safety, information literacy and digital citizenship. Both games have been created by PBS Kids.  

The first is a simple introduction to some of the major topics in Internet safety, such as downloading, passwords, meeting people online and being safe. By navigating this game, and answering questions correctly, students will earn an official web license:

PBS has also created a more comprehensive game titled Webonauts, to be found here:
