It seems like there is a day for everything.
Father's Day
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Pet Rock Day
(yep - for real!! The first Sunday in September!)
But here is one day that I can really get behind:
Now, it is very important that we are constantly aware of being safe on the Wild, Wacky West (www) of the Internet. By setting aside one day though, we can create a special occasion that makes a really big deal about what being safer means. The problem is, and the question that I get from most of my fellow educators is, what can we do to make the day significant?
Well, look no further as I got a great little package to share with you!!
Recently, I received an email from one of my colleagues in New York who put me onto a free program from Learning.com. Learning.com is a subscription service that has a cornucopia of educational tools that help classroom teachers educate students about digital literacy skills. Back when I was running the Consortium for Information and Academic Technology, I came across this company quite a few times and the educators using them had only the best to say of their experience! (No I am not paid for any mention of the Learning.com service - remember, I don't do that commission thing!! But I would take a coffee cup - hint, hint :-)
So if you are looking for something to do with your students this Safer Internet Day - now you have a solution!
Have you ever heard of Safer Internet Day and if so, what do you with your students on it? I would love to have your comments on the blogsite.
