Lots of lesson plan ideas for teaching about CyberSafety

Very good website for all age groups, but I focused on the teen area since that is who I teach. This has a really good video playing out scenarios of what cyberbullying is and how it affects all involved.

Free materials.

Net Smartz is a site targeting teens about internet safety. Teacher materials also available.

This video discusses the long-term risks of sharing inappropriate information on the Web. It encourages viewers to "think before you click" and offers tips for being responsible with photos, video and stories.

This makes sense! Kids that have Facebook write more on a daily basis than they ever have before. It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!
