CA State Standards in Internet Safety, Cyber Bullying and Online Harassment

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:54:10 +0000

The California State Standards have recently included a clause stating that schools must promote “safe internet use” particularly in 5th and 6th grades. Adina’s Deck is one way to help your school meet the new standards in health and technology education. If your school is looking for a solution, we are a one stop shop as many of our episodes address different topics!

For more information, visit the CA Content Standards and Framework in health here.

Technology Teacher Uses Plagiarism DVDs

admin — Thu, 28 May 2009 02:05:20 +0000

Here is an email from

Aletta Sauer, CA

“I teach technology education and business education at a rural high school in – Southern Humboldt County (in Northern CA). Since I see all the 9th graders in Computer Literacy class, I decided to order all three of your current episodes, to help me teach a unit on Copyright, Web Ethics, Plagiarism and Internet Safety. So far, I have used the Case of the Plagiarized Paper to introduce lessons on avoiding plagiarism, and I have used Adina’s Deck to help with lessons on Web Ethics, Web Etiquette, and Internet Safety. I spent two days on bullying because we are a Gr 8-12 high school campus, and the 9th graders still have memories of their time as 8th graders as well as the benefit of moving 1 step up in the campus pecking order. We use the Community of Caring model for character education, so the Adina’s Deck footage was especially appropriate. Our discussion on bullying was one of the most open that we have had all year – my students were totally cued into what cyberbullying is all about and our discussion ranged from what happened at Columbine to vandalism between classmates on our school wiki. My timing could not have been better – as it turned out, the day before we had our pre-video discussion, we had our own horrendous incident involving cyberbullying. 2 younger female 8th graders vandalized another female 8th grader’s locker with fake blood, wrote messages like “whore” and “bitch”, and then sent cell phone pictures to the victim of a third student trying to look scary with knives also dripping with fake blood. It was truly a memorable teachable moment, and gave us all an opportunity to understand just how offensive mental bullying can be. Also, I have an investigator from the DA’s office coming to meet with my students about Cyber-safety, and we’ll use the Case of the Online Crush then!

Thanks for the note, Aletta!Arabian Nights download
