www.isafe.org


I-Safe was founded in 1998 and endorsed by Congress. It seems to be a leader in the world of Internet safety education. It incorporates community outreach with classroom curriculum.

This is a very strong site for both teen users and teachers/librarians/administrators. There is a large portion of the program devoted to virtual training and online learning.

In the X-Block section, teens can create vodcasts (podcasts plus video!), hang out is a safe chat room, become an I-mentor (through training), listen to celebrity messages about Internet safety issues, or sign up for contests or student advisory boards.

I give this site an enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. It truly empowers both teens and educators.
