Online Safety Sites

1.) Surf Swell Island
http://disney.go.com/surfswell/index.html

I had to add this site after seeing it in class the other day. It is a fun, interactive game that teaches kids about online safety. After completing all the levels, kids can print of a safety certificate and becomes eligible for another game.

2) Internet Super Heroes
http://www.internetsuperheroes.org/
This site has a lot of good information about internet safety and alot of information about cyberbullying specifically. It provides the information in a fun, engaging format that kids, teens, tween, educators and parents alike could find very appealing.

3) Safe Kids. com
www.safekids.com/
This site speaks to a multitude of online safety topics such as blogging, computer security, how to eliminate spam, chat room safety and cell phone safety. My favorite part is "Daffy Dave Sings the Safe Kids online song. Great stuff!!!

4) Online Safety
http://www.fema.gov/kids/on_safety.htm

This site is put out by FEMA and has 6 tips on how to keep safe online. It addresses topics like not giving out one's name and number to people online, setting up rules for online use, and talking with one's parents about things viewed online. Though not as interactive as other sites, it provides good information.
