Suggestions for HP themed computer classes

[Mhochberg at aol.com]

Hi!
 
With the end of the school year fast approaching, I've come up with a  "last 
day of computer lab" classes for the elementary schools where I work. My  
current lesson plans call for taking 1st grade classes to the Scholastic HP  site. 
Grade 2/3 classes will go to the Bloomsbury site and the grade 4/5 classes  
will visit JK's site. I will be in costume as a visiting professor from 
Hogwarts  and will present this material as a "History" class.
 
While the classes will be a lot of fun, there will also be some muggle  
topics covered. One will be on the importance of being careful about sharing  
personal information with people on the Internet (just as Ginny Weasley shared  
with Tom Riddle). JK's website will provide an opportunity for students to  
experience websites in different languages as well as "text only."
 
I would appreciate any addition ideas on muggle content as well as any HP  
ideas or ways to tie to the two together.
 
Thanks!
