Only 1 of many interesting Dan Meyer activities, recommend reading his blog at http://blog.mrmeyer.com/

A good resource with easy to read information about copyright and creative commons. Also more ideas for assignment 3 tasks...

I found this resource very helpful and quite comprehensive. I especially liked the Cyberbullying acronym G.E.T R.I.D. I think this concept would make a great poster to hang on the wall of my classroom when I am a teacher. It passes the C.R.A.P test (Gold, 2010) as it is current being copyrighted from 2006-2016 so I would assume it is updated quite regularly and relevant for the topic. It is reliable because it is supported by the Australian government, Murdoch children's research institute and the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne among others. The media collaborator is the ABC and it has won quite a few awards. There are no advertisements so I do not think there is any agenda and the information is not really biased in any way, it is quite factual and informative rather than opinionated. One negative that I found was that there are a few statistics mentioned but no reference to what study these statistic come from, making me wonder how reliable they really are. All in all a brilliant resource for understanding the concept of digital citizenship and cyberbullying. Thank you for posting it!

I agree, this website is great. I've found it really helpful in my research and it passes the CRAP test :)

I totally agree with previous comments, this has been very helpful for me as I research information on digital citizenship ;)

There are links to some great resources in this article :)

Thank you for sharing this, it has been a great read and also full of useful information : )

Potential support resource for assign 3a if your topic is literacy

What a great resource. I have just been learning (In my language unit) about how important reading aloud to children is. Not sure if I will be able to use this for our assignment... I will definately book marking for my own kids to use though!
