Internet Safety- Doing

I talked to my husband about what I had learned. As we are preparing for our future, we both feel it is important to be aware of what are children will be exposed to as well as how we can best help them be safe. For the listening section, I watched the PBS special on teenagers online. I shared what I learned about cyberbulling, and teenage pornography. While I was not completely ignorant about activities some kids take part in online, I was very surprised and by what I learned. My husband was equally disturbed. As we discussed, we talked about how we are going to handle the computer and internet and what guidelines we can set up in preventing bad habits from forming and filth from entering our home.

2 Technology Ideas

I learned many great ideas from the project sharing. One of my favorites was using Powerpoint templates to create Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. You can find these templates online and and are a great way to perform a test review for any subject.

Another great idea I found was using on of the many Kidspiration graphic organizers to teach about habitats. There are many other ways this program could be integrated.
