I’m mentioning it for two reasons. The first is that it has many useful thoughts and ideas for e-Safety and second is that I must say it is also a very simple, clean blog. No fancy graphics. Just a simple, clear, easy to read layout.

Having a look back through the archives I found a link to Think You Know. It’s a site from the CEOP Centre and it offers information and advice about staying safe online. Mainly it’s a site for children – there are different areas for 5 – 7 (coming soon), 8 – 10 and 11 – 16 year olds and then there is a section for anyone who works with or looks after children too. The young people’s areas are good looking, fun based activities that suggest ways to stay safe. You have to register to access the teacher’s section which has resources and lesson plans for e-Safety. It’s well worth registering and the site in general is an excellent resource.

Edit: I’ve just found another similar site called Kidsmart. It’s the same kind of idea – giving information in a fun relevant way about staying safe online. They also provide some nice banners and artwork to use onwebsites to link to their own.
