FBI Cyber surf island: splits activities by appropriate grade level and covers digital citizen and safety issues.

Kim, this is a great resource! When you have your kids on the internet it can be hard to make sure they don't visit sites that are inappropriate! I like how this website focuses on safety and also focuses on certain grade levels! I think this is something a lot of teachers should really look into.

I just actually thought this was a short pretty interesting read, it gives you both sides of the story

I thought this was a useful resource for the introduction of using social media in the classroom being straight forward with the pros and cons. I think this resource would be useful if it were linked with a website that explained how to combat the cons that are pointed out in this article. For example, how can we take the cyber bullying issue and turn it into a learning opportunity in the classroom. I believe this resource should be used to help teachers decide if they want to utilize social media in the classroom. I am aware of multiple resources that point out the pros and cons in social media.

This was very short, sweet and to the point. It got the points across fairly simply. It would be a good link for an RWLD or something along those lines. A great supplemental read that doesn't take too long to get through and understand.
