Last week we started learning a cyber-sense rap, which has continued into this week. Maybe you’ve heard parts of it at home!
I have a special secret,Whenever I’m online –
I don’t share with others
The things that are just mine. My e-mail and my home address,
My phone number and name –
These are just for me to know,
In chat rooms or in games. Instead, I use my nonsense name –
It’s my online identity!
When people ask me who I am,
I introduce my “cyber-me.” And when I want to surf the Web,
for places that are cool,
I get some help from mom or dad,
or teachers at my school.
As you can see it has lots of good tips for online safety. Today we created our own “cyber-me”s, also known as avatars. Students could choose to use doppelme to create a character, or kerpoof to create a drawing. An avatar is a great way to protect your privacy online, instead of having a photo of yourself. Our next step will be to create names for our avatars, making sure that they doesn’t reveal any personal information such as our real name, age, school, or where we live.
I am looking forward to putting all this learning together into a project to share. I think it is going to be really cool!
