Approved Action Research on Internet Safety

This is the latest version of my action research and it took several stages to have it approved. I know this won't be the last one. All your comments are welcome and I will try to share my findings during the process.





The action research will kick off after spring break vacations. Most of the practice will be performed at the school lab and we will be offering the students after school lab hours to allow more interaction time. To simulate real life scenarios we will suggest some sites to access sources that normally are blocked.  Specific web sites could be unblocked at the district level for short periods of time and we will be working to have them ready before their practice.  Since school networks are always controlled and restricted we will try to emulate some scenarios. At this moment the Edmodo, an educational social networking program, is a possible choice to let the students acquire some experience for the real world wide web social networks.
