October is national "Keep Kids Safe Online" Month and although we are getting to the end of month, I have come across some great resources I'd like to share.
The Wisconsin DPI website has a page with information about Internet Safety for parents. It includes safety and security tips, information about student data privacy, links to the Department of Justice's "Protect Kids Online" podcast series, and links to other organizations' online safety information.
Another good source of information for parents comes from NetSmartz, a program from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They address a wide range of safety topics, including internet safety, online privacy, cellphones and social media.
We will also address being safe online with grades 1 - 8 in library media class. Grades 1 - 2 just touch on the subject in age appropriate terms. Grades 3 - 8 have digital citizenship units from Common Sense Media's curriculum that cover internet safety. Common Sense Media also has resources for parents that address Parent Concerns with different media.
