 * Privacy & Safety **

Video on COPPA - very interesting video on Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.- Lindsay

Warning Signs- Lindsay

Safe Internet Alliance - Lindsay

Awesome Site on How-To's for Internet Safety- Lindsay

[] I found this site and I thought it was useful for a few reasons. One being it helps parents with online safety and gives tips for things such as facebook. Kids are starting younger which means they need to be taught this at a younger age.

[] I also found this site and talks about such things as social networking. I teach third grade and a few of mine I know have facebook and their siblings. - Christine Lindsay- Maybe I could discuss the warning signs and different programs that are available to ensure privacy and safety on the internet. There are so many ways of blocking certain sites and programs from your computer.

Lindsay- I have nothing in my email that says what we are supposed to be doing? I have researched many different things, just not sure what you guys would like me to speak about. I will do whatever. Lindsay- Ok what would you like me to research or present? Christine- I thought we each had to have a speaking part. I could be wrong though. I need to check my email.com.

I would be willing to do the introduction if Mindy wants to do the traffic light and talk about ways parents and teachers can work together to help children understand why privacy is important. Christine

I apologize, I have not had internet while I was moving to a new apartment! What do I need to do to help?!?

=== **Mindy** **(What do you think of this outline for our presentation? If not I am fine with it. I can take the Traffic Light Explanation since I understand all of the sections. I work best with an outline. I am honestly lost without it... We go next week. I liked the COOPA and Safekids site. If this outline is good, where do you want to put them both? I just added stuff as I found it. If you want to move stuff around I am cool with that too. Let me know what you think.)** ===
