Today we began our research project on European explorers! The students are very excited to begin and do some online research. Part of our Health and Career learning goals are to learn about internet safety so we will be learning about this in class, alongside our social studies research projects! Today we reviewed how to use Google and how to find appropriate websites. We also discussed why Wikipedia is not the best resource (ask them why!). For the purpose of this assignment I am still allowing the students to use Wikipedia since this is the first time we are doing research and it is compiled and organized nicely for the students.
To prepare for our internet safety lessons, I have found a few online games that will help the students learn about internet safety! Please feel free to check out the links which have been added to the "links" section!
The first is
"Looney Tunes teach the Internet Safety"
The next one is
"Netsmartz Kids"
And finally,
"Surf Swell Island" by Disney
