Hang on to your seats! Kaleidoscope's Fifth Grade TechKnow Park Adventure is about to begin! Your journey through the amusement park will lead to new ways of thinking about information accessed online, while improving your skills in the use of the computer and other technologies.
Since you will spend a lot of time online in TechKnow Park, there are some very important things to know about safe surfing, privacy, and your personal information.
-
Find out how much you know about "cyber-safety" at PBS Kids. There's a Web License to print if you can make it to the end of the quiz.
- Visit KIDZ Privacy and learn about a new law that can prevent Web site operators from misusing information they collect from students like you.
- If you have Internet access at home, Get Net Smart is an interactive "role-playing" quiz that you and a parent or guardian can take together at home. You will find online safety rules to sign and post at home, ribbons to print and more.
Turn to a
partner, or discuss as a group, the 9 guidelines listed on the KIDZ
Privacy site. See
the 9 guidelines again.

Do you agree with all 9 guidelines? Why or why not?
-
Do you have your own Web site or are you planning to create one? How do these guidelines affect you?
-
