FBI Safe Online Surfing (SOS)
Posted: 03/12/2013

Kids and teens love to use the Internet. But there are risks: online predators, identity thieves, cyber-bullies, and much more.

The FBI has a new tool that can help. The new Safe Online Surfing, or SOS, website helps educate students in grades 3 through 8 about cyber safety.

Through the website, teachers can sign up and have their students take specially designed tests once a year. The winning small, medium, and large schools each receive an SOS trophy from the FBI.

SOS. It's fun, it's free, and it's educational.
