This is a lesson for first grade to talk about how technology has changed our lives over the years. I have it related to the first settlers and the experience they may have had if they had today's technology.  We also will discuss the technology we use today in our rooms vs what used to be used and how our behavior online can affect us even when people can't see us. 

This learning tool was developed and designed to facilitate teacher/student and student/student discussion and recognition of significant events, holidays and celebrations within their lives, families and communities and those of their peers.

This lesson plan is part of a multi-disciplinary unit that scaffolds the deeper-learning skills of early-elementary students through the examination of artifacts and cultural experiences throughout the history of Virginia. Through a forthcoming prerecorded webinar that will be linked to this presentation, two Virginia teachers joined by the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (Richmond, VA), provide a presentation on how to use this resource and to consider ways educators can collaborate with museum experts to broaden each student's critical thinking skills and enrich their historical understandings.

This lesson is for Networking and the Internet. The student will learn the difference between a network and the internet. They will be reminded of the importance of internet security and safety and how not everything on the internet is real. This lesson will use videos, books and hand on time to understand the how a network vs the internet works.
