Abstract

This paper is an exploration into internet safety education for elementary age students. The participants for this Capstone Project included 22 fourth-grade students that attend a free after school program, located in the Bay Area of California. This paper took a look at the issues that arise for children on the internet and what is important for them to know for their well being while using it. This Capstone will describe a four-week program created in effort to better educate students on how to stay safe and act appropriately while being a part of the online community. The findings that emerge from the project show positive growth and understanding after completion. There is an important connection to the career of teaching since technology is frequently used in the classroom, both students and educators need to be prepared to combat any issues that arise from its usage.
