Diversity Internet safety is very important to consider when student are using computers whether on or off campus. Each year a contract is reviewed and signed by students and parents regarding the code of conduct expected when using school computers. Videos, classroom discussion, and direct instruction are used when teaching online safety so that students can work at their own pace as well as have monitored discussion on the subject of Internet safety.

LESSON PLAN 3 Because the computers are accessed during the school day, all students, regardless the diversities caused by cultural/social/economic matters, will be able to work with computers

during school hours and if necessary, afterschool times may be arranged as well to accommodate for students needs. Technology Inclusion The lesson is geared to teach proper etiquette and safety when using the Internet. Proper use of computers in general is also discussed. Procedures 1. Class discussion on safety tips for downloading from the Internet; identifying reasons for taking security precautions; identifying inappropriate or threatening interpersonal situations involving electronic devices and develop strategies to react to them safely. 2. Small group discussion and demonstration of what they like to do online. Discuss gaming, communication, typing, research, etc. 3. Individual students will list 3 basic ways to be safe online.

the Internet. There are several days built into in the plan to accommodate student absences. The teacher will need to make arrangements for computer use during the school day and accommodations for after school instruction if necessary. Resources www.doe.virginia.gov. (2013, March 31).
