9. Introduction [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson was developed as part of an Instructional Technology Applications course at the University of Akron. In a time where technology seems to be taking over, it is important that students know how to be safe and secure on the internet. This lesson provides students with an opportunity to explore digital security on their own and discover what it truly means to them. In this lesson, students will be exploring digital security. They will begin with a basic website about how to remain safe and secure on the internet, and are then free to explore their own areas of interest on the topic. The goal is for students to learn about being safe on the internet, which can be a dangerous place if unprotected. Instead of lecturing students about not giving out their personal information, they are presented with the chance to explore such concepts on their own. Once they have done their research, students will create an informative brochure to share with their classmates. Evaluation Conclusion

10. Learners [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is designed for students beginning high school or ending middle school. It is most beneficial to students who are learning about all the internet has to offer, but could also be helpful to students who feel they have conquered the internet, but really need to be more aware of protection online. Students need to have basic computer skills to complete this activity. Students should be familiar with searching on the internet, logging into websites, and the basic format of such tasks. If students choose to complete their brochure on a computer, they must know how to use Microsoft Publisher or Word. Evaluation Conclusion

11.

13. Resources [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page The most important resources for this lesson are access to computers and specific websites. As implied by its title as a WebQuest, students must have access to computer with the internet. They will need to view two specific sites ( this site and this site ), as well as other related sites of their choosing. No specific software is necessary for this activity. Instead of using Publisher to create brochures, students could easily create them by hand. Beyond technology, some guidance will probably be necessary for students. One teacher should be able to assist students as needed, but additional aides could also be welcomed if desired. The teacher using this lesson may also want to involve other teachers in the school. If the students are in an art or graphic design class, their instructor could make creating the brochure one of their assignments. An English teacher might have writing the information for the brochure be homework for his/her class. Cooperation is always a possibility. Evaluation Conclusion
