Mix the following internet safety lessons with other projects during a lesson or computer lab time. Spread them out throughout the year, repeating if necessary, which doesn’t bother the children at all.
- The first time students access the Internet in your class, provide an overview. What is the internet? Where does it go? What will they see once they’ve clicked a link? How should they safely use a link? How do they NOT click on the ads (and what are ‘ads’)?
- Visit age-appropriate videos that teach online safety. Here are some great links to preview and see what would work for you:
- Have sufficient adult assistance that learning is seamless and students aren’t confused
