Lesson 2:

In this lesson elementary students create a PowerPoint presentation over the basics of
CyberBullying. There are 3 links that students will need to visit to find information (they are included in
the assignment). I like to have the links up on Moodle or a site like that, so students can click on them,
rather than having to type them manually. This activity will take approximately 1 hour to complete,
depending on ability level.
