Safety Week at New Germany Elementary
5
Safe Surfing Week

• Educators always try to focus on safety issues
  surrounding students. Just as a teen learns to
  drive before getting a license, a child needs to
  learn the rules of surfing the net before
  engaging in this activity.

6

• Realizing that we had taken our initial one-week
  educational tool from last spring and developed
  it into a full school-wide program, we decided to
  gauge its success.

7

• Our committee, along with the student body,
  developed a survey to be used with students.
• Parents and our community were surveyed.
• Using technology we then compared the results
  using graphs.

8

• The committee members involved their students in
  producing additional teaching tools.

9

• One group wrote and performed skits, another
  became computer buddies with a younger class, and
  a third used puppets to take the message to the
  youngest classes.

10

• The final group was responsible for developing a
  powerpoint presentation to be used both now and
  in the future.

11

• We began putting the information on our school
  web site.
• A plan was developed to visit neighboring schools
  next fall in order to get the message out to
  other students.

12
Planning and Involvement

• A committee was already in place as we had
  previously developed a program for our school and
  community.

13

• Four teachers, with support from our
  administrator, began the task of organizing what
  we were currently doing as well as deciding what
  additional things we could do to educate others.

14

• Brainstorming is a wonderful tool. It was decided
  that the program would actively involve the four
  classes and target all ten classrooms at our
  school.

15

• We would also reach out to parents, the
  surrounding community and our online community.

16
Student Participation

• All students participated
• Students began tallying survey results and made
  graphs with technology.
• New Germany Elementary students were impacted by
  skits, puppet shows, the power point
  presentation, and the computer buddy program.

17
Parents and Community

• The grade five/six class conducted a phone survey
  of families within our school to ask three very
  important questions
• 1. Do you have internet at home?
• 2. Is your computer in a high traffic area in
  your home?
• 3. Do you have a set of rules for internet use in
  your home?
• Parents were also asked if they use the internet
  for emails, work/research. chat rooms and games.

18
Creative Education and Online Safety

• Computer Buddies
• Surveyed our school population
• Phone survey to families of NGES student
• Compiled surveys using graphs and technology
• Used survey information to develop further
  teaching tools such as skits and jingles.

19

• Developed a power point to show students and
  staff the results
• Wrote a puppet show and performed it for younger
  classes.
• Decided to visit neighboring schools (with our
  skits and puppet shows) in the fall to encourage
  them to teach online safety.
• Developed a handout to send to parents
• Began putting our Safe Surfing Week information
  on our school web-site.

20
Safety Facts and Outcomes

• This program allowed our students to review
  on-line safety facts that were taught during the
  school year. The surveys demonstrated that our
  program is working.

21

• The students practiced telephone manners while
  doing the phone survey and covered a wide range
  of Math outcomes while working on surveys for
  both schools.

22

• The children used Language Arts components
  (reading, writing, listening and speaking) when
  preparing the survey and while speaking to the
  classes.

23

• The buddy system has been used for years with the
  reading component of Language Arts so the idea of
  computer buddies was a natural move.

24

• The grade one students gained valuable knowledge
  about Safe Surfing while working with their older
  peers.
• This Safe Surfing Week was really a culmination
  of a full year of teaching students about how to
  protect themselves when surfing the web.

Chat Rooms vs On-Line Games

  needed the most work. (Chat rooms and on-line
  games depicting violence)

Safety First 

• Narrator One night Isabelle was chatting to
  Julie. All of a sudden a new chat window popped
  up. The girls name was Theresa. She said she was
  Isabelles new neighbour from the next street.
  Theresa invited Isabelle to the park the next day.

47

• Theresa Isabelle, would you like to go to the
  park tomorrow?
• Isabelle Sure! That sounds like fun. What time?
• Theresa Early. Before school.
• Isabelle Okay.

48

• Narrator As Isabelle got ready for school the
  next morning she decided to mention to her mom
  that she was meeting Theresa at the park before
  school. After Isabelle left for the park her mom
  decided something didnt sound right. She phoned
  the police. Meanwhileas Isabelle walked to the
  park a policeman drove by.

49

• Policeman My name is Constable DeLong. Your
  mother phoned us and it was not a new neighbour
  you were meeting. It was a nasty man named Bob
  and he could have hurt you. Fortunately, we
  caught him and hes in jail. From now on you need
  to be more careful. However, you made the right
  decision when you told your mother. Please DO NOT
  chat online with people you do not know.

50

• Narrator Isabelle learned a lesson and hopefully
  you did as well.

Gaming Violence

• Narrator Dallas was in his room opening emails.
  There was a strange email in his box from an
  unknown web site that forwarded a link to another
  site where he could download a game for free.
• Dallas Cool! Free games!

62

• Narrator He went to a site and downloaded a game
  called Killbunny 4. He anxiously opened the
  game and started to play.
• Dallas Lets play.

63

• Narrator The object of this game is to destroy
  the world, one person at a time, by means of
  extreme violence. Dallas didnt like the game so
  he told his mom about it. The site was reported
  and the creator of the game was investigated and
  eventually arrested. Dallas did the right thing.
  He told everyone in hopes of making people more
  aware of gaming violence.
