Halt! Who Goes There? Avoiding Online Creeps (Updated!)

Students complete activities in which they practice identifying language that might indicate when they are dealing with online creeps, and devise strategies for avoiding and dealing with individuals who may want to harm them. Students then create presentations to inform fourth graders about how they can communicate safely online. This is a revision of the Halt! Who Goes There? Avoiding Online Predators activity to be a curriculum based upon research. You would not use both this journal and the Halt! Who Goes There? Avoiding Online Predators activity.

Application Exercises give students an opportunity to apply concepts they have learned in previous instruction. Work completed by a student will be graded through a variety of scoring options including participation and teacher assessment via rubric to provide flexibility with the type of grade sent to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook. Student work may include open-ended questions, correct/incorrect responses, a final product and/or self-assessment.
