CyberSleuth Kids – Search The Internet
An Internet search guide for the k-12 student
This resource provides a variety of topics of interest. The teacher, students and parents will find this resource enriched with a wealth of information for the different academic areas. This resource has clipart and games available to be used for reports, to enhance bulletin boards, and other projects.
This resource tool can be used and is geared toward elementary, middle, high school and college. It can be used by anyone.
As an educator, I found this resource to be very helpful. I can use it as a class resource lesson; assign partners or a group activity as well as an individual assignment.
This resource allows students the opportunity to surf and learn the Internet in a safe environment.
Ebooks are also available. Students have the opportunity to view videos to enhance the lesson you are teaching such as in Language Arts. I chose Fables and a Story. I wanted to see what the lesson entailed as well as to see if the information would be useful with what I was teaching on theme. It was interesting, however I could not use it this week. I did find that it could be used in the future.
For teachers, it offers resources in classroom management, resources for the classroom, teaching tips and tools and professional development ideas. It can be very useful, however it requires patience and researching. Some of the links are not working.
The only problem I may have with CyberSleuth as a teacher would be the links. I would have to go and make sure the links I want to use are working. I would also go to the topic and choose a variety of areas I would want my students to go or set the links for my students to follow to ensure they, the students, focus and go where I need them to go.
CyberSleuth is a good site as with any web tool they have their faults we must check them out to ensure safety; they are working as well as is what we want to use them for in our classroom.
