Copyrights and Wrongs

On Monday in Project LEAD students worked on Part 3 of 5 on the Internet Safety Curriculum we have to complete. This section covered Information Literacy, so I felt it was time that we covered Copyright. Teachers presented the lesson I created where they explained the difference in copyright, fair use and public domain. Classes had discussions on how these are handled in the classroom and also reviewed videos provided by Common Sense Media.

Relationship/Community

Today in Project LEAD I created a leson that is tied in with our Internet Safety Curriculum; this is part 2 of 5. Students discussed with there teachers the reasoning for the pictures they post online. This included pressure, double standards, etc. that young people deal with when they post a picture.

4 Days of Project LEAD

Last week during our six weeks testing we decided to change up the schedule and we had four days of Project LEAD. During that time we were able to have class meetings for freshman and seniors, graduation plans for sophomores and juniors. I decided to start our five-part Internet Safety Curriculum. We spent two days on cyberbullying were students created a cyberbullying policy to present to our Campus Education Improvement Committee as well as cyberbullying survey for our student body to complete. I will update my blog on both of these activities to see where it takes us.
