Summer Internet Workshop
Activities

Students are free to select from a wide variety of activities related to Internet Studies, in order to maximize their participation and interest.  Given this freedom, students must take the responsibility to ensure that their activities are educational and appropriate.  They must check with their peers, parents and Mr. Cooper if there is any doubt regarding the appropriateness of their activity. 

Possible acceptable activities include:
  • Web Page building and development

  • Internet based projects

  • Research

  • Peer collaboration and/or instruction


    • Unacceptable classtime activities include:
  • Online game playing

  • Unacceptable language

  • Unmonitorable or secret chat

  • Unauthorized or secret hacking

  • Creation or distribution of viruses

  • Any activity that would not be approved of by peers, Mr. Cooper or parents.


    • This last unacceptable activity is purposely overly broad insofar as the students must take responsibility for their own behavior, but there must be parameters set.

    Tripod Site Builder will be used to give students a quick way to create web pages.  Students will also learn html, ftp, image editing, and a number of other skills throughout this course.
