learning difficulties Every activity on the Internet has many potential dangers, especially for children.
Mention that students should only add people they know as friends and never
strangers on Facebook. Explain that they can fall victim to fraud if they give out
personal information such as their address, phone number, or other personal
information. They should always follow the same rules as apply to normal
conversations when chatting.
Lesson description Introduction
- Hand out the "K.5.42 Worksheet 1.docx to students. Ask them to read the questions
on the worksheet. Discuss the evolution of the Internet with students and the ways
that people can communicate and exchange information via the Web.
- Mention that a way to communicate online is by blogging but there are other
networks that we use daily. Introduce the main topic of the lesson which is social
media Help them understand what social media means. Apart from the worksheet's
questions, you can ask some other
questions such as:
- What is a social network?
- In what ways can we chat with a friend via the Internet?
- How can we exchange files such as photos and videos?
-Do you have a personal Facebook account? o Do you have a personal Twitter
account?
2. Investigation-Development of knowledge • Then, ask students to complete the
activities of the worksheet. They have to select if the given sentences are true or false.
They will investigate what Facebook and Twitter are, why we use them, what we can
share with our friends, and what we
shouldn't
-Then ask them to match some words with the correct social media
Facebook friends, like, wall Twitter: followers, tweets, followings
• Students have to understand that Facebook is a social networking website that
anyone can be a member of Students can create their profiles and add photos and
information about themselves. Their profile has a wall where their friends can post
their comments and upload photos and videos. It also offers a variety of privacy
options to its members. A member can make all his communications visible to
everyone or he can keep all his communications private. He can even block specific
people not to have access to their walls and see their posts.
On the other hand, Twitter is a social networking microblog. Members have short
posts which are called tweets. Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follow
other users' tweets. On Twitter, the people who connect with you are called
"followers" instead of "friends." The most significant difference between Facebook
and Twitter is that Twitter is public, meaning anyone can follow anyone else on
Twitter. Tweets are posted on the Twitter website and they are permanent and public.
Anyone can search
tweets, whether they are a member or not.
• Hand out the "K.5.42 Worksheet 2.docx Ask students to give definitions of the
words. Encourage discussion amongst them and if they have any questions, they can
ask you.
