Second Article

Federal Bureau Of Investigation. "Keeping Kids Safe Online." FBI. Safe Online Surfing, 11 Jan.
     2011. Web. 20 Feb. 2013.

Annotated Bibliography:  Keeping Kids Safe Online was the next article resourced for the topic on students in chat rooms and online predators.  This article was put forth by the FBI to inform students and parents about Internet dangers through a program called Safe Online Surfing. Safe Online Surfing is offered in schools to "help students understand how to recognize, report, and avoid online dangers" (article). The program is offered for third through eighth grade students to read about Internet safety then take quizzes to demonstrate the knowledge gained. The FBI presented this article to display the great work that the SOS program is doing for communities to keep students safe. The Federal Bureau of Investigation shows expertise on this topic because their job is to protect people from harm especially students. The information presented in this article is accurate due to the fact that this is what the FBI specializes in. I thought that this article was a great representation of protecting students through educational programs SOS to prevent against online predators. It is nice to see that the FBI continues to be an active presence in finding new ways to keep individuals informed. http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/january/online_011111/online_011111
