__**About:**__ The Lower Merion School District is taking a strong initiative on the safe and responsible use of the Internet with students, staff, and community members. In today's society, the Internet has become a major player in the lives of our students. As a community of teachers and parents, we are responsible for educating them in the uses of the Internet and helping them make smart choices to avoid the dangers, predators, and bullies that lurk online.

Most lessons include video from the Netsmartz website. It is recommended that you review the video BEFORE you try the lesson. The resources in your grade level are just sample activities you can use for each of the concepts.
