Research & Cyber Safety: Learning Topic 1: Step 4--Use of Information - 1 views

  • Diigo--use the "send" function for students to submit their notes to you. They can use their library to stay organized. This is great for older students. (Refer back to the "how-to" video in Module 1 if you need to.)

      I'm sure I could find this out if I re-watch the video, but just wondering if there's a "user-friendly" way to quickly check their notes...keeping in mind I'll have about 160 students next year and don't want my email inbox to be flooded...

      Again, this is a great question for teaching about culture, but still difficult to apply to the entire langauge.

  • Now many teens also have lives on the Internet
    • Whitney Mires
