The lesson I chose was "Safe Mode". I liked this lesson because it is literally 5 minutes. I know I tried to show a digital citizenship lesson to my class and after the first 5 minutes their eyes glazed over and their ears turned off. This lesson is short sweet and to the point. It maintains a format that is user friendly, easy to share and easy to turn into a classroom project of your own. This lesson tells you how to enable safe mode filters, doesn't remove content (it only keeps it hidden), and that it is an "opt-in" setting that has to be chosen. This is how I would see myself using this in my own classroom. The only materials you need are the videos loaded, a projector and individual or small groups for computers.

Your lesson sounds like one I would like to look into. I would like to know more about safe mode for myself and my home computers as well as for the classroom. I hate looking for images or videos and finding things that I don't want to see. Not good when you look up videos or photos at school, and I don't want my kids to come across things that I don't want them to see either. Can you post the link or more info on the lesson?

This lesson does seem extremely simple. I like that the safe mode does not take away any content, that way it is something that can be viewed again if really necessary. The fact this lesson is so short and does not really concern anything that students are particularly interested in makes me wonder if it is actually useful or just something to inform them about that they will forget or never use.
