NetSmartz® Workshop

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children - NetSmartz® is an interactive, educational resource for children ages 5-17, parents, guardians, educators, and law enforcement that uses age-appropriate, 3-D activities to teach children how to stay safer on the Internet. The goal of NetSmartz is to extend the safety awareness of children to prevent victimization and increase self-confidence whenever they go online. NetSmartz teaches children the rules for online safety.

Get Net Wise

The Internet is an increasingly important place to work, play and learn for both adults and children. At the same time, we are concerned about the risks we face online. The challenge is to stay "one-click" ahead of would-be pornographers, hackers, child-predators and those who would misuse your and your child's sensitive information. GetNetWise can help.

i-SAFE

i-Safe is devoted to educating and empowering the youth of America to safely and responsibly take control of their online experiences.

Disney Online
