Second graders have learned about the Internet, the parts of the page of web browsers, and now it’s time to learn about being safe and responsible Internet users. This week we will learn about what it means to be a cyber community and have some fun “playing” in an online community at Disney’s Club Penguin.

In the next few weeks we will learn about online safety at two other fun sites the students can show you at home: http://ikeepsafe.org/iksc_kids/ and http://www.netsmartzkids.org/games/
