TWT2010_19.+Internet+Awareness+Unit+-+6-8th+Grade

Description:
Our neighborhood has expanded beyond our traditional going down the block to the store, walk to school or playing out in the park. Together we will view 3 lessons for grades 6, 7 and 8 covering the topic of the internet and becoming more aware citizens of our virtual surroundings.

3. Do you think (name of your school) students use "Spark Notes"? Why or why not?

4. What are you thoughts about the online service "Turn It In".

5. Should the Horace Mann Upper Division have restrictions to using cellphones? Why or why not? (may not apply to your school)
