Content Area and Learning Activities: During the first week of school, when many of the rules and routines are established for how to act in school, the teacher will introduce the concept of online rules for students, scaffolding their creation of such rules by providing them with information about the Internet and tools they will be using. These rules may be created on the SMARTboard and then displayed whenever students are using the computer so they may reference the rules. The teacher will monitor each students’ use of Edmodo to check if they understand the rules and help them (or limit their use, depending on the situation) if they do not show a proper understanding.

 

Content Area and Learning Activities: Students will now have access to more programs on the Internet and also programs that require passwords. During the first week of school, before students are given access to any programs that use the internet, the class will collaboratively create a list of consequences for violating the online code of expectations and password privacy. This code will be created on the SMART Board and some students may be selected to come up and write a rule. There will be a vote on the consequences, but the teacher will have final approval.

 

Content Area and Learning Activities: During Language Arts time, students will watch a short clip about cyber-bullying, the teacher then leading a question and discussion session about the video clip. The students will, in groups, be responsible for creating a flyer (using the computer) to encourage others not to cyber-bully. This will be a persuasive writing assignment, students required to use facts and evidence from the video clip to justify why nobody should participate in cyber-bullying.

This may be done before centers in Language Arts or any other time that the students will use the computers. The students will apply what they have learned as they use the computers, the teacher demonstrating individually if needed. Students may also learn to help one another.

Content Area and Learning Activities: The teacher will inform students of the login procedures for the computer, demonstrating how to do so. The students will then demonstrate what they have learned each time they are tasked with using a computer program that requires them to login and logout of the computer.
