I've been so excited to see all the visitors we're getting to our site! Audrey and Savannah we got a visit (see our Guestbook comments) from the class with the blog you visited in Australia. Maybe we can see if we can work on a writing project together with them. We've also gotten visitors to our site from France, New Zealand, England, Canada and all over the U.S. Our superintendent has checked out our site too.
Make sure you bring your parents in on Open House night (this coming Tuesday) and show them how to make a comment. I'll take pictures of you and your parents commenting and post them on here.
Students are starting to take a look around the blog and begin making their first comments. As they become more proficient, they will get greater freedom to author their own posts and potentially their own personal blogs.
Look at the focus! I think it's pretty cool to see them hard at work and having fun.
We are going to be talking about how to be safe, respectful, and responsible on the Internet. Before we begin, what are your thoughts on the topic? What things do you think are important to know regarding how to be safe on the Internet? Are there "rules to live by" for Internet use? What kinds of information do you share?
I found the following information on a site called
digital me: It states that there are "3 core concepts" to think about with sharing information on the Internet. We need to think about
Who sees what we share, whether
What we share is too personal or not ours to share, and
Where should we share our information.
Here's another video on how to be safe, respectful and responsible online. Take notes and think about what you want to include in our raps.
Below I have what you all came up with for how to be safe online. If you have suggestions for how to improve it or things we left out, leave a comment. Once we feel it's ready, we'll make our rap! Also, leave comments on rhymes you think would be good for this. Have fun.
Welcome to Roosevelt! I'm looking forward to a great year with you all and a chance to do some fun stuff in our library. What are some of your favorite things we've done in here in the past and what ideas do you have for the library this year?
