I like “Digital Etiquette” video from www.brainpop.com/technology/digitalcitizenship/

This is a good video to teach students a set of rules for how to behave online. Other good videos from Brain pop to show our students are “Cyberbullying” and “Online Safety”. This videos show different strategies for keeping your online experience pleasant and safe.

http://cybersmartcurriculum.org/lessonsbygrade/ is another great site where we can find lesson plans by grade level to empower students to use the Internet safely, responsibly, and effectively.


At www.cybersmart.gov we can find great information like “THINK” that are tips especially for young kids.
Tell your Mum or Dad if you see something online that upsets you, or if someone makes you feel unhappy. You can also talk to a trusted adult like a teacher: they can help.
Hide your password. Only ever share it with your parents – never with your friends. Someone else could go online pretending to be you and do something that could get you into trouble.
Interesting websites can be fun. Check with Mum or Dad if a site is okay to use before you visit. Sometimes they can set up a good list of sites just for you.
Be Nice to people you talk to on the internet or phone. Name calling or being mean is not cool. Look out for yourself and for others.
Keep your special personal information safe. Never give your real name, address or phone number to anyone you don’t know in the real world. Use a nickname in chat rooms or when you play games on the computer.
