Pathfinder Peer Enhancement Example 2
Consider adding a section on Internet Safety to your Safety pathfinder.
Internet Safety website
I use this with my students in 3rd and 4th grade.
Privacy Playground: The First Adventure of the Three CyberPigs

Then click on start game.
To introduce this topic, I first discuss what students know about Internet Safety.
I watch the video as a whole class and we answer the questions together.
There is also a teacher’s guide to show how this video can be used with students. This
teacher’s guide provides extension ideas and printable handouts and activities.
As a review, we will do the Crossword Puzzle and Mystery Message.
Internet Safety website
NetSmartz
Homepage: http://www.netsmartz.org/index.aspx
This is a website for educators, parents, law enforcement, kids and teens. This website
contains many different resources that can be used in different ways.
This is the link where you can get free presentations sent to you.

This Internet site could be used for many different purposes. It can be used with
elementary through high school students, to teach the importance of Internet Safety. The
resources could also be used for a workshop for parents and their children.
I am very passionate about Internet Safety because using the Internet can be very
dangerous if students are not taught about how to use it. I feel like there are some parents
that do not monitor what their children are doing on the Internet. It seems like more and
more today, we hear about dangerous things that are happening on the Internet. As an
educator, I feel that we need to get this information to parents and students.
Be Safe Series
Listed below is the Be Safe Series. Books that teach different kinds of safety. I think that
a great thing to do with students after reading a safety book is to have them work in
partners to make a poster listing some of the rules that learned in the book. It is a fun way
to review what they just learned.
