Online safety information For Teachers - The Internet is not limited in its capabilities, so why should we be? Includes links to many other resources for teachers.
Online safety information for Librarians - Librarians are on the forefront of the information age and we have information just for librarians!

Excellent resource for basic information, parent resources to internet safety, ideas for Acceptable Use Policies, etc.
Educators need to understand that the greatest risk our children face online is being denied access. The Internet is essential to our children's education, future careers and lives. But even the most experienced Internet user doesn't understand how children use the Internet and how to help them have a safer and more enjoyable surfing experience

	This site from the BBC has animated movies, lessons, activities, etc. about lots of reading, writing, math, and science subjects. Use it as a teaching resource, then have students work independently on the activities and games. VERY USEFUL! http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revisewise/
	This site is amazing! The George Lucas Educational Foundation has compiled this site with research, resources, training films, etc. http://www.edutopia.org
	BrainPop is a subscription site, but well worth the money. Has hundreds of short animated lessons about everything from poetry to volcanoes that can be used to introduce or review a lesson or unit. The short QUIZ can easily be put into an online assessment site like QuizLab or QuizStar.
	QuizLab is an on-line site to create, store, and assign assessments. Also includes hundreds of pre-made assessments to pick from. Tests are scored and sent to the teacher's email account overnight. It's a subscription site, but pretty inexpensive. If teachers sign up as a group, the price goes down. Worth the money.
	QuizStar is a free on-line site to create, store, and assign assessments. Like QuizLab, tests are scored and sent to the teacher's email account overnight. The difference between the two is that QuizLab has a test bank of hundreds of pre-made quizzes to choose from. QuizStar doesn't.
