Internet Safety
As the secondary technology integration coach for my school district, I plan to implement Internet Safety lessons into curricula. "Operation Safe Surf" is a great Internet Safety Program provided by Pennsylvania's Attorney General Tom Corbett for educators designed to help educate children, parents and schools about the importance of being safe online.

Classes

 * Computer exploratory class
 * Health - cyberbullying
 * Social Studies - digital citizen/online community
 * Language Arts - What is a friend?
 * Emergency Lesson Plans - worksheets, DVD
 * Any class where you are using online tools - Is this appropriate to post online?

Objectives

 * Internet Safety** **& Security**
 * 1) Increase communication between adults and children about online safety
 * 2) Explore the consequences of unintended audiences viewing their social network profiles
 * 3) Recognize online and security risks, make informed decisions, and protect themselves while using technology
 * 4) Understand appropriate protection methods and secure practices.


 * Internet Ethics**
 * 1) Students consider the power of the Internet to disseminate positive and negative ideas of individuals, as well as large organizations.
 * 2) Students relate the privileges and responsibilities of cyber citizenship to our school's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Materials
 Laptop Cart - Student MacBooks Technology- Any and All Web 2.0 technology tools: blogs, wikis, social networking sites, RSS, Flickr, etc. "Amy's Choice" vignette from the NetSmartz "Amy's Choice" worksheet

Technology Usage
The technology in this lesson will only serve as the tool by which the lesson is delivered. Subsequent lessons will utilize technology differently once Web 2.0 tools are implemented.

Procedure

 * 1) Hand out the worksheet.
 * 2) Have the students read the sentence fragments taken from Amy's own words.
 * 3) After reading "Amy's" words, without being specific, have them tell Amy’s story in their own words. This is a strategy that allows students to start thinking about the topic and work with the words they will be hearing before watching the vignette.
 * 4) Then have the teens watch "Amy's Choice."
 * 5) Write the discussion questions on the board. After the students have watched the vignette, have them use the blank side of their worksheet to answer the questions.

Discussion Questions
> she first “met” online, what advice would you give him or her?
 * 1) At what point do you think Amy realized she was in danger?
 * 2) When should Amy have told her parents or a trusted adult what was going on?
 * 3) What were the consequences of Amy's choice?
 * 4) If you have a friend who's thinking about meeting in person with anyone he or
