Internet Safety is Imperative today.  Students are coming into school having been using a tablet since birth!!

Kathy Cassidy created a nice description of how to incorporate the use of the internet and technology into the early elementary classrooms and to begin to teach safety.

Fantastic site for including technology in lessons.  It includes everything from digital citizenship to lessons aligned with the Common Core with suggested tech-tools.  REALLY useful :)
