Surfin´Safely

Welcome back Surfers,

Today we will continue exploring internet saftey tips and rules. For today we will be embarking on a ship with Kara, Winston and the Smart Krew as we learn how to navigate the seas of the internet. You will need a partner to help you discuss what you see out on the sea today. So after each video stop and discuss what you saw and learned with a partner.

To begin visit their website Kara, Winstom and the Smart Krew. Please watch the first video "Accepting." When you are done work with your partner to discuss the video.
