Living the Digital Life - lesson plans + More

I've had some questions about finding good resources for teaching about online safety, ethical behaviour, privacy issues, etc. These four sites are just a sample of what's available.

=====================
WebAware
Be Web Aware is a national, bilingual public education program on Internet safety. The initiative was developed and supported by Media Awareness Network (MNet), Bell and Microsoft Canada. (French and English)

Net Cetera
The internet offers a world of opportunities to socialize and communicate. But they come with risks. OnGuardOnline.gov's Net Cetera campaign provides information and resources about helping kids make safe, responsible decisions when they're online.

Common Sense Education Programs
Today’s kids connect, create, and collaborate through media. But who helps them reflect on the implications of their actions? Who empowers them to make responsible, respectful, and safe choices about how they use the powerful digital tools at their command?
