In class let's practice creating an online certificate or certificate through power point. I would encourage you to explore online for a few web 2.0 tool that might do the same thing. No need to print anything. Just go through the experience of making one and let me see it on the screen. The next time you need it, you're ready to go!

===Activity 15: Internet Safety: Creating a safety net of the 21st Century - Just explore! ===

- What is your school's acceptable use policy? Can you find it posted online? If you don't know this answer you need to find out (not for this class) as people look to you to lead your district with regards to technology and safety. - Let's say I'm your principal and I say this to you, "So I see you do a lot online with the kid. What are you doing to educate them on acceptable use and safety?" What's your answer? - As you explore social networking, student email, and simulation learning, how can you be prepared to help yourself and parents educate children? - Does your school offer any opportunities for cooperative learning online (simulation-like)?
