  When students come in, have them login to computer.  Have students plug in their headphones and watch the video about Wikis.  Ask students to generate ideas about wikis they may have seen and/or used. After two or three minutes of group discussion, select a few groups to share out their ideas.   (If students do not have computer access, show the video by projector.)

  After finishing the video and discussion, have students open up a MS Word document (or other word processor they have access to OR take out paper if you prefer them not to use the computers). Use a PowerPoint snippets to give direct instruction on what cyberbullying is.
  The idea is that the direct instruction portion of the lesson should take no more than about 20 minutes. Feel free to cut and paste this power point to suit your needs.  Have students take Cornell notes while lecturing (description of how to use Cornell notes as well as a template are provided for download below).  After every 10 minutes of lecture have the students participate in a 2 minute pair and share to discuss lecture contents up to that point.  Depending on the student group, you may need to do this more frequently.

  *** TEACHER DIRECTIONS TO DO BEFORE THE LESSON ***

  Before beginning, set up a wiki.  www.wikispaces.com is a good site.  Create the main page for your wiki project that links to the blank pages students will use.  A video on how to do this can be viewed at: www.k12onlineconference.org. ****
