= 7-D-1 Online Safety Lesson =

 To heighten awareness of responsible net use, students will identify the 3 main risks associated with online activity. The three main risks are:
 * Objective**


 * Inappropriate Contact – **Teach kids how to recognize and protect themselves against contact with cyber-bullies, hackers, phishers, and predators. People aren’t always who they say they are. The Internet is a place to enhance existing relationships, not a place to meet new people.
 * Inappropriate Content – ** This includes both content that is viewed and content that is uploaded by kids. Help kids understand that the Internet is //forever //: everything they post online is tracked and stored and will follow them to future job interviews and college entrance interviews.
 * Inappropriate Conduct – ** Because the web environment can feel anonymous, some youth become dis-inhibited . Teach kids that the Internet is a public forum: anonymity is a myth. Help them be the good person //on //line that they are when they’re //off //line.

Wiki and Blog
 * Technology which will be used **

Students will work together in small groups on a password protected **wiki ** to create a page that addresses the potential consequences of posting online with particular attention to the three main risks. Each group's presentation will take the form of an eye-catching poster that summarizes and highlights the group’s ideas. 1. Students will work together to create class-policies for different aspects of blog use and prepare their information for inclusion on a class **wiki ** page about responsible internet use. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">2. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students will compose a **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">blog ** entry summarizing what they have learned about responsible internet use and reply to at least 2 classmates blogs.

Additionally they will explore their interests by sharing their writing with a real audience. Students will be using personal web logs on the site www.wordpress.com to post their writing pieces to the Internet. A Weblog, or blog as they are commonly called, is a special type of Web page that can be created and easily updated using any Web browser. Essentially, students are creating a web page to highlight their work that can be modified from any internet connection. Each new entry has its own date stamp and a comments section where visitors to the blog may leave comments for the author. Students can exercise some control over who may comment and who may see their writing. Each week Benbow sensei will teach a lesson targeting some style of written communication. The topics range from posting notices to writing about the geography and language of the USA. After the lesson, which also includes new vocabulary and comprehension exercises, students will write an entry for their blog. An example entry will be posted on the main class blog for guidance. The students will have latitude in terms of expression, but they need to make use of the skills taught in the lesson to help the craft their writing. The emphasis is on the quality, not the quantity of what they write. When students are done polishing their writing, they have it reviewed by Benbow sensei before it is published to the Web. We will do our best to ensure that students will have computer sessions most weeks to provide them with the time needed to complete their weekly blogging assignment. Students may also work from home. All that is required is an Internet connection and a Web browser. Students are able to save their work as drafts before publishing it to their blog. Directions for working from home will be provided. Having a real audience (mainly their classmates) is one of the key components to this program. In addition to receiving comments from their classmates, students will receive comments from Benbow sensei. Parents are also invited to visit the blogs and respond to the writing. Potentially, anyone on the Internet could respond to our blogs, however, it is not likely that the world at large will stumble across them let alone be able to understand unless they are Japanese. This blogging project is designed to minimize risk to your child. The only personally identifying information included in the blog will be their first name. There will be no direct mention of our school name or our location. Students are allowed to post their interests and opinions, but not their age, email address, photographs of themselves, or other sensitive information. The weekly blog assignments will be part of your child’s writing portfolio assessment this term. In general the assignment is due by the Friday of the week it is assigned. - Blogs created by fifth grade students in the USA [] - BBC News article about blogging in a school in the UK []

While we encourage you to engage in conversation with other bloggers, we also expect that you will conduct yourself in a manner reflective of a representative of this school.
 * 4**. Student blogs are to be a forum for student expression. However, they are first and foremost a tool for learning, and as such will sometimes be constrained by the various requirements and rules of classroom teachers. Students are welcome to post on any school-appropriate subject.
 * 5**. Students blogs are to be a vehicle for sharing student writing with real audiences. Most visitors to your blog who leave comments will leave respectful, helpful messages. If you receive a comment that makes you feel uncomfortable or is not respectful, tell your teacher right away. Do not respond to the comment.
 * 6**. Students using blogs take good care of the computers by not downloading or installing any software without permission, and not clicking on ads or competitions.
