First, students learn about the similarities of staying safe in the real world and when visiting websites. Next, they learn about the website traffic light and complete an activity where they match statements about websites to the correct safety level of the site. Then they play an interactive game and consider how to determine which websites are just right for them. //Students will:// Introduce:
 * Understand that being safe when they visit websites is similar to staying safe in real life
 * Learn to recognize websites that are good for them to visit
 * Recognize if they should ask an adult they trust before they visit a particular website
 * ASK:** What does it mean to be safe?
 * TEACH** the Key Vocabulary word safe.
 * ASK:** When you walk down the street or play in your neighborhood without a trusted adult there, how do you stay safe? Gather all responses from students, but highlight these points: Don’t go to places you don’t know, stay out of trouble, don’t talk to strangers, follow the rules.
 * TELL** students that just as they should stay safe in the real world, they should stay safe when they go into the online world (visiting websites). Make parallels between the answers students gave you about their neighborhood and the online world. Sample responses:
 * Don’t go on websites without a trusted adult’s permission
 * Talk only to people you know
 * Only go to websites that an adult says are okay to visit
 * Follow your family’s rules about the computer
 * EXPLAIN** to students that one way they can keep safe online is by using the website traffic light. A regular traffic light tells people who are driving cars when they need to go, slow down, or stop. In the same way, the website traffic light tells people who are visiting websites whether or not it’s okay to go somewhere.
