Internet Safety Rules

According to NetLingo, these shocking Internet statistics exist!

One third of kids have been contacted by a stranger and half of these were considered inappropriate.

 9 out of 10 parents will never know that any inappropriate contact has occurred.

All of my 5th grade students watched this video created by R. Chatel and posted on YouTube in computer class. We also discussed the Internet Safety Rules taught in class.

As a follow-up activity, the students created Internet Safety comics using the Comic Life program.  View one of our sample student Internet Safety Rules comics.  5th Grade Internet Safety Comic Life Project

Learning and understanding the rules of Internet Safety is critical for all young students.  Take time to watch and discuss this movie with your children.
