- Cyber Tree House: Games, music videos, and other digital activities that can be incorporated into elementary school cyber safety lessons
- NetSmartz Kids and Teens Pages: More digital activities, games, and videos that can be incorporated into various lessons and discussions
From this week's discussion leader, I then acquired the link to a wonderful learning object on phishing:
- Anti-Phishing Phil: Informative, fun game teaching students how to recognize phishing schemes; I learned a lot from this game too! :)
For cyber safety lesson plans, I found these two sites to be most helpful:
- CyberSmart! Lesson Plans and Activity Pages: Contains plans for a variety of K-8 Internet safety/use lessons
- Purdue's CERIAS Lessons: More elementary school and middle school lesson plans, ideas, and materials on Internet safety/use; many of these are quite creative and would really appeal to students (Even though the lessons on this site are written in Indiana and include Indiana subject-area standards, they could be used to meet most states' standards.)
Do you have any cyber safety favorites that you have used or encountered along the way?

I have to say that I have never thought of Cyber Safety sites, but I did play with the Phishing Phil site this week and thought that it was a great ool for young children to learn about phishing scamms and how to recognize them.
I did however find this guide for parents to talk with their children about cyber safety, with Mcgruff the Crime Dog :-)

A great resource to add to my files-- Thank you for sharing it!
The games were fun and educational at the same time. I did well at first but they quickly got a lot harder.
The lesson plans are also useful and I hope to teach cybersecurity no matter what school I end up at. So many students are using the internet at young ages and need to be taught how to use it safely. I will be sure to bookmark the sites you provided.
Thanks.
