Homework
There will be daily homework, some are family assignments and games, however these are meant to enhance the class and if you choose not to do them it is still possible to learn from the course. While not mandatory this is a class that can be distressing and we highly recommend students and parents at least talk about the class.Assessment
Feedback will be given on any assignments handed in.Class Experience
JOIN MY LIVE CLASS! I love to be online. I love playing games. I love watching YouTube videos. I love social media. I am also very aware of the dangers that being online presents but when I was younger I had no idea about online safety. I had never heard of phishing, online scammers, and I definitely didn't know that people would try and steal information, cause addiction, or trick me into being unsafe. I learned some of those lessons the hard way. If your child plays games online (Minecraft, WOW, Roblox, Fortnite), has a cell phone or laptop, or spends any time online without you monitoring they should take this class. This online class is an introduction to 5 different aspects of being smart online and keeping your information and your family's information safe. Day 1: Evaluating Media and Biases: What's real and what's not and how can you tell? Day 2: Protecting Your Online Identity and Recognizing Scams. Day 3: Online Safety: Learning the Tricks and Tactics of People Who May Want to Hurt You. Day 4: Recognizing and Dealing with Cyber Bullies (and How Not To Be One!) Day 5: Gaming Addiction: Some Games Want You to Game More and Spend More and They Hire Psychologists to Help Create Addiction.
Learning Goals
Students will become internet aware and recognize when something is unsafe. They will learn how to be good digital citizens in an increasingly digital world.

Other Details
Learning Needs
The live class may be better for learners with unique learning needs however parents can also watch videos and work with students as they complete this self-paced course.
Parental Guidance
This class may be scary for some children.
We will be discussing people who DO try to hurt and trick children, kidnap, or even kill them if they are not careful online.
We will talking about people who are willing to steal, lie, and manipulate feelings and emotions with no regards that the people they are hurting are children.
We will be talking about companies who are purposely trying to get children addicted to games.
All of this may be very upsetting for students.
The daily homework is part of processing this information and an important component.
