Connect Safely
Just found this site. Founded by a non-profit group, this site features toms of tip sheets for parents, students, and educators. Covers many safety issues and has current news and forum sections.
MTV's A Thin Line
This is an edgy site sponsored by MTV. I recommend this for use with older students as it may contain some mature themes and language. That said, excellent resources for ethical digital behavior.
FBI - Parent Guide to Internet Safety
Guide sponsored by FBI with information and steps that parents/guardians can take to prevent and report Internet safety-related incidents.
