Introduction to Internet Safety Incorporating Service Learning into K through 12 schools is a growing area of interest to educators. Like community service, Service Learning requires students to serve their communities. However, the terms community service and Service Learning can t be used interchangeably. Service Learning takes community service one step further by incorporating the service experiences of students directly into their schoolwork. Service Learning is integrated into the academic curriculum and designed so students learn and develop through active participation in a community project. The end result is integrated learning that has meaning and newfound civic responsibility. In fact, research has shown that students who participate in Service Learning improve in areas across the board, such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, reasoning and problem solving, public speaking, computer skills, etc. i-safe and Service Learning i-safe has always promoted integrated learning through its empowerment projects, which allows students to take what they learn out into the community. However, with this Service Learning packet, integrated learning and community service is taken one step further. Each lesson offers background learning, so the primary goal of service to the community can be completed in a beneficial way for all concerned. This program of lessons can be used in the traditional classroom, in a specified school Service Learning atmosphere, or in a community-service club setting. i-safe is committed to meet not only educational goals, but also the goal of community improvement through education on the crucial topic of Internet safety. Note: Students may also complete self-directed i-safe community service. Interested students should go to the Kids and Teens section of www.isafe.org and access the Intern Program. Service Learning projects are supported by the i-safe Outreach department. Please refer questions about activities and materials to outreach@isafe.org. Visit www.isafe.org for complete information about the i-safe program. 1
