[|**NetSmartz Offers Free Internet Safety e-Book for Children**]NetSmartz Workshop, a program of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, has a new and exciting way for children ages 5-10 to learn important Internet safety lessons. In its first e-book, //Delivery for Webster//, children learn why it's important to ask a trusted adult before sharing their information online. Delivery for Webster features animated graphics, dramatic sound effects, and a "read-to-me" narration for early readers. Parents, educators, school librarians, childcare providers, and others can also utilize the accompanying discussion guide to start a conversation about Webster's adventure, pop-ups, and personal information with children.[|*]

*TED Offers New Education Platform and Free Video Lessons**TED, a nonprofit organization, has launched a brand-new TED-Ed website with tools to help educators use video in the classroom. The new platform allows educators to take any useful educational video and create a customized lesson around it. Users can distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on a class or an individual student. Educators also can browse TED content based on the subject they teach. Each video on the TED-Ed site is tagged to a curriculum subject and is accompanied by supplementary materials to help educators and students use or understand the video lesson. Supplementary materials include multiple-choice questions, open-answer questions, and links to more information on the topic. The site also offers an innovative customization program called “flipping” that allows educators to customize supplementary materials and render lessons on a new and private web page, and a TED-Ed YouTube channel with free video lessons by leaders in innovation and thinking.
