THE WEBSITE THAT I USED IS WWW.IKEEPSAFE.ORG - ONCE YOU ARE AT THE SITE:
Select For Educators From The Navigation Bar On The Left
Then Click On Educational Materials
o I used the Review Worksheet “What Was That Again? Internet Safety Review” and
Vocabulary Quiz
o I used the Video, Find a Match Memory Game (it’s timed so they like it), and Internet Panic
in the For Kids link on the navigation bar to the left
o The kids really enjoyed NetSmartKids Games. We had competitions in the Maze Game,
Password Rap, and Picture Puzzle
o In Fun Stuff with McGruff they liked the Word Searches, Community Clean Up, and Bike
Race
Also look at the Dare Activity Center under the For Educators link, I used Activity 4

Remember I’m sharing how I used this site last year.

I know not everyone has a lab but when you’re in one think
about rewarding the kids using some of these resources.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! KEEP IN TOUCH AND HAVE A GREAT YEAR!
