"The use of technology is not a goal in and of itself; rather technology is one tool that supports language learners as they use the target language in culturally appropriate ways to accomplish authentic tasks."

This Web page introduces a blended learning approach to learning about Internet safety for English Language Learners in Grades 4 & 5. Initially, this project began with a simple teacher guided collaborative lesson that explored building a class iGoogle site that students accessed online.

This is a good project to maintain the safety and security of our online learners.
