This lesson plan for 3rd-grade students focuses on developing essential internet skills and promoting online safety awareness. Over the course of one hour, students will engage in discussions about the internet, learn key terminology, and participate in hands-on activities to navigate web browsers effectively and conduct safe online research. They will work in pairs to find information using child-friendly search engines while practicing important safety rules, such as never sharing personal information and consulting an adult when unsure.
Students will then collaborate to create posters that illustrate one of the internet safety rules and present their work to the class. The lesson concludes with a review of the key concepts and an interactive quiz to assess understanding. Through this engaging and interactive approach, students will gain valuable skills for navigating the internet safely and responsibly, preparing them for future online experiences.
