Joe Showker, ITRT Rockingham County Schools, has passed along these references for kids, students and parents. The online social world isn’t going away, and the perils continue to grow. As we enter the holiday season, provide these to your connected kids at home!
Showker says:
Home Run on these links for parents, students and instructional mentors/teachers. Had to share these!
1. From NetSmartz…
this page has downloadable tip sheets in both English and Spanish.
“Cyberbullying. Sexting. Social Networking. NetSmartz Workshop introduces you to these and other important Internet safety topics through tip sheets for children and their trusted adults. Use them to educate yourself and others in your community about the main online risks, to accompany NetSmartz Internet safety presentations, and to engage children in discussions about appropriate online behavior.”
2. New fresh videos on internet safety and digital ethics.
3. Home based net safety tools.
Awesome interactive link that gives parents three actions to find the best home-based internet/digital ethics and filter tools. This page has an interactive feature that really works.

I’ve posted lots of new digital ethics links on my delicious page: www.delicious.com/digitalsafety http://www.safenetting.com/
