NetSmartz®
NetSmartz is an Internet safety
resource from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America that uses the latest technology
to create high-impact educational activities for even the most tech-savvy
kids of any age group.
The goal of NetSmartz is to extend the safety awareness of children and empower
them to make responsible decisions online and in real life. This is accomplished
by:
- enhancing the ability of children to recognize dangers on the Internet
- encouraging children to report victimization to a trusted adult
- supporting and enhancing community education efforts
- increasing communication between adults and children about online
safety
- enhancing the ability of children to understand that people they
first "meet" on the Internet should never be considered their
friend
Parents, guardians, educators, community leaders, and law enforcement
can choose from resources including on- and offline activities, games,
Internet safety pledges, news articles, and activity cards designed to
supplement the NetSmartz online activities.
NetSmartz has also created interactive presentations for elementary,
middle, and high school students and communities.
NetSmartz content is available at no charge to the public at www.NetSmartz.org.
