In teaching cyber safety to my 8th graders, we have come across a great online resource. NetSmartz is a website that is dedicated to educating students, parents, teachers, and community members on the importance of cyber-safety and the potential consequences if we do not take the given precautions.
This website is very well laid out, easy to navigate through and has quality lesson plans and resources for primary through high school aged children. The lessons can easily be modified to best meet the needs of your students and curriculum. The lessons are engaging and meaningful. My 8th grade students have expressed their positive opinions on the lessons. They enjoy the activities and discussions that netsmartz suggested and outlines for the teacher in the lesson plans. We have had many quality and eyeopening discussions due to the resources from this website.
I would encourage other educators who teach cyber safety, along with parents, to utilize this quality website.
