Lesson #7: What is a blog?





The students have just finished a unit on internet safety and cyberbullying.  They have been exposed to what information is okay to post online.  They have seen the technology blog, but this week they will learn more in-depthly what a blog is and how they can use a blog in their own lives. 

Think you know what a BLOG is?
Explore Brain Pop to discover what a blog is and how it can be useful in your life!
K-2: Brain Pop Jr – BLOGS
3-8:  Brain Pop:  BLOGS
          
ACTIVITY:  A blog may describe something – either about a person or a subject.   We will use Wordle to create out own word picture to describe a topic that could be used on a blog.  Students will need to use all the information that they have learned about internet safety to discern what information is okay to give out online.

Students will then review the PRINT SCREEN function to put this word art into Word and save to their classroom folder.  Students will then distinguish which printer to print from and print to the SMOYLAB printer.
