CyberWise provides tools for parents, educators, and kids to help them understand and use new media tools safely at home and in the classroom. The site provides an extensive collection of videos and resources that explain current media tools and ways to use them. Videos include guides to Twitter, Prezi, and Glogster as well as media literacy and digital citizenship (at the time of this review.) At this time, there are "coming soon" signs for Facebook, Teacher Tube, Animoto, and others. The CyberCivics blog follows the journey of a classroom in California as they go on their journey to becoming informed digital citizens. The FunWise portion of the site includes links to fun sites for using tech tools, each month a game site is highlighted for its use of technology. Sign up for the free newsletter and subscribe to the blog to stay current with information included on the site.

In the Classroom
Share videos on your interactive whiteboard or projector with students to discuss media tools and how they are using them or before assigning projects using current media tools. If your district blocks YouTube, then this may not be viewable. You could always view that at home and bring it to class "on a stick" to share. Use a tool such as KeepVid reviewed here to download the videos from YouTube. Share videos with parents to help them understand current media tools and how to use them. Have your students create an online "scrapbook" on cyber safety using Smilebox (reviewed here).
