New elementary web.20 tools for online safety


We're enjoying a nice class today at WSWHE BOCES held by Polly Alida Farrington. One attendee shared an interesting site for online safety for kids: http://www.woogiworld.com/ The site looks like a good tool to share. Remember -- "ethical use of the Internet and information" is part of our AASL, NYS Information Literacy Standards, and the ISTE standards.
