CyberBullying Report
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.

Holiday Glogster Project
Glogster is an online, interactive, digital poster-maker. It's a free tool and works great in the classroom. For this assignment, students create a poster about their favorite holiday. However, if you're looking for something else, the assignment could easily be changed to support a variety of learning activities. If you've never used Glogster before, here's a tutorial. But for the most part, it's pretty straightforward and user friendly. [ Lesson Download Link ]
