Web Drop-In Activity
Internet Safety for
Kids
Everybody
knows that the Internet can be a wonderland of information, communication, games
and shopping! However, because it is sometimes just you sitting in front
of your computer alone with no adult around, you have to be VERY careful to use
the Internet with care and caution. In fact, adults have to be just as
careful as kids do!
During
this activity, you will be asked to visit two websites, read some pages, take an
online quiz, complete a worksheet, and invite your parents to learn about online
safety, too!
SafeKids.Com
and SafeTeens.Com are two
websites that are devoted to helping kids, their parents and teachers learn
about online safety.
