The Big Idea
Some basic concepts such as community and people in a community need to be reinforced. They need to understand the difference between a stranger and a trusted adult. At this point, the relationship between a real community and a virtual community should be connected. It should be emphasized that students should always use an adult while going online and differentiate what it means to feel safe versus unsafe.
