C.R.A.P. Test C: Last reviewed nearly 4 years ago might not seem like a long time, but in the world of technology, a lot can change in regards to how things work. R: Despite the years, the information seems reliable and not particularly opinionated. A: Three student level Authors signed their names on this document as well as being reviewed by someone with a Ph.D. in 'adolescent development'.​ P: Litte to no opinion, not trying to sell me anything other than the idea that the internet is a dangerous place.

I found this article quite useful - I especially liked the '10 Commandments' as I thought it provided important information in a clear, concise manner. This was my other favourite quote" We've found that a better protector against inappropriate Web sites is establishing a culture of proper use of the technology." as I feel like this is the best approach to internet use in both education and at home

I found this resource very helpful and quite comprehensive. I especially liked the Cyberbullying acronym G.E.T R.I.D. I think this concept would make a great poster to hang on the wall of my classroom when I am a teacher. It passes the C.R.A.P test (Gold, 2010) as it is current being copyrighted from 2006-2016 so I would assume it is updated quite regularly and relevant for the topic. It is reliable because it is supported by the Australian government, Murdoch children's research institute and the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne among others. The media collaborator is the ABC and it has won quite a few awards. There are no advertisements so I do not think there is any agenda and the information is not really biased in any way, it is quite factual and informative rather than opinionated. One negative that I found was that there are a few statistics mentioned but no reference to what study these statistic come from, making me wonder how reliable they really are. All in all a brilliant resource for understanding the concept of digital citizenship and cyberbullying. Thank you for posting it!

I agree, this website is great. I've found it really helpful in my research and it passes the CRAP test :)
