Chapter 6: Cyberethics for Kids

I looked at the website Cyberethics for Kids.  This site is definitely geared towards kids, but it also has a link for teachers. In the section "Are You a Good Cybercitizen?", it talks to kids about a good cyber citizen looks like and then it gives the kids different scenarios to choose from and they can pick from different outcomes.  It is kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure in a way.  The next section is the "Rules in Cyberspace."  This gives kids the Do's and Don'ts  of Internet use.  I like that on some of the Do's it gives examples of them.  For example, of them is that kids can do visit museum websites.  Then it gives links to famous museums for kids to go visit their websites, like the Louvre.  The last section for kids is "You Can Get in Real Trouble for Hacking!"  This section teaches kids why they shouldn't hack onto sites or accounts.
The Cyberethics for Teachers site was overall pretty helpful.  It talks about strangers and hacking.  There is lots of information of computer crime, and it also includes a glossary of terms.  I could see this site be useful more from the kids section.  This would be a great site to use at the beginning of the year to kind of set up the rules for computer and Internet use in the classroom.  Of course there would be some discussion with the whole class to make sure everyone understands all the rules, but that site would be a great reteaching tool to make sure everyone not only understands the rules, but through the repetition of the website it would also help them to remember the rules.
