Knowledge and Skills Knowledge

Students will know: Recognize and verify their understanding of internet terms that include cyber bullying, sexting, social networks, Digital Profile, Blog, Chat, Sexting, Child Pornography, Stalker, and IM.

Be able to share their interpretation of how important private information must be kept

anonymous and not shared on the internet. To verify this they must complete a google search of each of their family members.

Learner Characteristics
Being a Media Specialist in a Media Center, I only get a class once a week for approximately 45 minutes. So I organized my lessons to fit that schedule. I have all types of students from a few ESOL to many SLD. We are very fortunate to have another Media Specialist as well as a Media Clerk. I teach all grades 9 through 12. I am trying very fervently to reach all students while they are within 9th or 10th grades and teach them internet safety. This is so important when technology is such an integral part of most high school settings. I then try to reinforce and update technology "dangers" again when they reach 11th and 12th. A typical class of learners: 9th grade English: 25 girls 12 boys 17 gifted that are self-motivated 13 auditory/visual learners that need frequent activity 7 ADD students that need extra help with Media Clerk/special needs Prerequisite skills- Most if not all students have attended the Media Center orientation and have received their log in information. They also have been taught basic internet rules.

Content, Instructional Strategies and Performance Task(s)

1. As students enter the Media Center, have a screencast-o-matic playing with cyber-bullying words and statements that someone may hear or say. 2. Review the essential question for this week which is What are the dangers of cyberbullying and sexting? 3. Complete survey about cyberbullying and sexting on the internet that is anonymous. The teacher will print the results. 4. Watch the video on cyberbullying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Du6A-HIzmY 5. Have each student write a word that can be harmful to another person. Place word on displayed word poster. Discuss this poster and the words. 6. Have each student begin creating a Prezi or slide rocket about cyber bullying. Place in teachers drop box. ELA and SLD help from MS, and MC. 7. Simulation -Cyber bullying game on deal.org -http://deal.org/wpcontent/uploads/2009/11/Cyberbullying_Interactive_Game.swf This game is a simulation of the real world of technology. It informs students of the dangers of the internet and what can happen. It even covers the legal ramifications of passing information through technology. It is interactive. While trying to find a game to meet this standard, I found there were not many available. I have decided I am going to try one of the game development software and create a few games for use with this lesson. 8. Play game of Web Warriors: http://www.webwarriors.org.au/ This is a great game for all age students. It has different levels and students can create their own avatars. I do not think this is good for younger students because it requires an email address. The avatar runs over envelopes that give questions/tips on cyber bullying. Students will be motivated to reach new levels while learning great information.

Be sure to indicate: Goal: List three ways that are commonly used in bullying on the internet or with mobile devices. You must describe the culprit and how it can be used for cyberbullying. Role: You are a designer that works for the State school board system. You need to develop an eye-catching flyer/poster that will warn others about how bullies can use internet and mobile devices to destroy an individual. Audience: You are going to be distributing the flyers/posters to schools throughout your district. Situation: You must develop a visually appealing flyer and it must be acceptable to and desirable for use in the various high schools within the State. Product Performance and Purpose: The flyer should have at least three cyberbullying culprits that are used to cause discomfort to any person. Standards and Criteria for Success: This assignment will meet the standard listed below.

More Student Self-Assessment and Reflection

Question Box
Place a question box with slips of paper next to it. Students can place their concerns, questions, and/or misconceptions in the box. They can also share what they like about the lesson and what they do not like. (This assessment is helpful for those students who do not like to speak out. This is the same as "exit slips". Use www.everywherepolls.com and have students that have phones or ipods send a text of the answer to the poll and see how many in the class understand the concepts. The students will be able to see how many in the class understood the concept and how many did not but it is anonymous. This can be done on the following day as a "bell ringer" activity because it can lead into another discussion about the subject of cyber bullying.
