Professor Garfield has an array of interactive games and activities for kids,ononline safety and cyberbullying
This is an excellent place for primary students to begin learning about how to keep themselves safe online. Make a point to visit Internet safety throughout the school year. Start the year with a few weeks that are focused on and dedicated to Internet safety. I make a big deal of the activities that take place during those weeks. At the end of the Internet safety unit, students can take a quiz so that you can gauge their understanding. Each student must pass this quiz in order to receive their Internet drivers license for the year. Professor Garfield’s Internet Safety is the perfect addition to the Internet safety week. The videos and activities are fabulous! Revisit the site throughout the year so that students are reminded of the safety rules they agreed to follow at the beginning of the year. This is a great time to reintroduce Cyberbullying, and the lesson on Professor Garfield is a great way to do this.
In the lab setting, each student can go through these lessons at their own pace. Students will receive immediate feedback from the activities if they have any misunderstandings.
Use the interactive whiteboard or projector to watch the videos as a class. During the try and apply, turn the questions into a class discussion and choose the answers together.
