Digital Citizenship

Together, we will learn to be polite and safe on the Internet. We will remind ourselves that anything we put on the WWW (World Wide Web) will often be available to anyone . . . anywhere. We will learn that anything we put on the Internet will be a reflection of ourselves . . . is it kind? is it cruel? These are important lessons for us all. We will learn to respect ourselves and others at all times.  In the Portaportal under the "Technology" headings I have links to Digital Citizenship games.
Here is one we use often for 3rd - 5th grade:

I borrowed this from  ( http://www.kidscomjr.com/games/safety/safety.html )  :

Always have good manners and be polite when talking to someone else online.

Ask your parents to spend time with you while online so that you can show them some of the neat things you can find online.

Only use the Internet when your parents tell you it's OK, and only for as long as you are supposed to.

Don't give out personal information like your address, telephone number or school name to anyone unless you have permission from your parents.

Never meet with a cyberfriend or key pal unless your parents go with you or you have their permission to go alone.

Don't break copyright rules by taking words, pictures or sound from someone else's Web site without their permission.

Don't respond to any e-mail messages you get if they are strange, mean or upsetting to you, and tell your parents or teachers right away.

Don't send pictures of yourself or your family to anyone unless you have permission from your parents.

Stop right away if you see or read something on a Web site that upsets you and tell your parents or teachers about it.

Don't put words, pictures or sounds on other people's Web sites without their permission.

NO, NO, NEVER, NEVER, THAT'S NOT SAFE!

You will have to imagine the student body yelling, "No, No! Never, never! That's not safe!" in this little video which was shown at assembly.

Enjoy:
