Computer Class Update: Week 8

First Grade
Project #3: Creation Story Books
First Grade will continue a project in which we will be using Microsoft Word and Tux Paint program on the computer to create Creation story books. Last week we created our covers and begin Day 1. This week we will finish Day 1 and begin Day 2 and Day 3.

Second Grade
Project #3: Passwords and Online Privacy - Part 3
Second Grade continued our unit on Online Privacy: Why passwords are important and what information should be kept private and not shared online. This week we began making our posters on Publisher to tell what information should be kept private and what information is OK to share. Please ask you students to fill you in on what they have learned so far.

Third through Fifth Grade
Project #2: Cyber Bullying - Part 3
This week the 3rd through 5th graders will continue creating our animoto video projects to represent our learning about cyber bullying, what it is and what to do if it is happening to you or one of your friends.
Their videos will answer the following questions:

1. What is cyberbullying and what technologies do people use to bully?
2. What are the four types of cyberbullying? Describe each.
3. What should you do if you or a friend is being cyberbullied?

So far the students are doing a great job on their videos! Some of our fourth and fifth graders are close to being finished. I can't wait until sharing day! Check out the sample video here: Cyberbully PSA

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great week!
