We've just finished with almost all students an in-depth look at "Safety on the Internet".  Students were reminded not to give out personal information about themselves, not to chat about anything that could lead predators to them, and just generally have good behavior while on the Internet. We discussed who they should tell is someone is bullying them on the Internet and who should be called if there is more serious trouble - in our case here in Moody it is Officer Higgins.

During these days, we discussed computer viruses, Trojan Horses and what to do if you get a Trojan Horse on your computer, how to make good passwords and login names, and how to protect your computers with antivirus software, spyware software, etc.

We also discussed copyrighted materials, plagiarism and the differences between the two.  We've had very active discussions on copying music between friends. 

In March and April, the 7th grade will be doing research on Famous Women to celebrate Famous Women's Month.  They will make newletters with Microsoft Publisher with the information found from their research. 

Don't forget to check the webpage for the pictures of Mrs. Perkins' science class as they did their teaching of science this past month.  They did an excellent job of teaching their fellow students.  Only some of the participants were captured on film, but these can be found at www.moodyjrhigh.com as usual in the photo section.
