Great way to maintain the attention of your students. He introduces subjects such as cyber bullying, digital citizenship, responsible internet posting, online predators, and much more.

7Get It? Prove It!
In order for students to demonstrate their understanding of Internet Safety, I would ask them to choose between two different projects. Either design a poster demonstrating their knowledge of Internet Safety and safety tips or to prepare a Powerpoint presentation. Allowing them to be creative with their presentation or poster design helps them to become more interested in the assignment as well as the subject matter.
