Back to Elementary Library

Remember, surfing the Internet is a big job that requires big responsibility. The elementary librarians have found these sites to be  safe and fun. A lot of them are sites made by the government or a trusted organization -- remember, anything that ends in .gov is a government site and is probably a good one. Even so, students should always talk to their parents about what they do on the Internet. Students should show their parents what they are learning and creating, and teach them what they know about being safe on the Internet.
