Cybersafety & Edmodo

Along with Librarian Mrs. Day, students in grades 3 - 5 are using Edmodo to study and explore Internet Safety concepts. Each week, they receive their assignment via Edmodo which requires them to use Common Sense Media's newest site Digital Passport to explore and learn. Their latest assignment requires them to create a comic strip illustrating how two characters would react to an online situation. 

Because the activities are posted in Edmodo, students are able to communicate online with their teacher as well as other students in their class through the discussion components called posts. If needed, students can attach documents, links and even take polls and quizzes. A 21st Century project like this promotes anytime, anyplace learning, models real-world experiences, and targets several of our technology TEKS!
