Safe Social Networking with Smokescreen

“Smokescreen game guides teenagers through dangers of social networking”

Learning about safe social networking through scenarios & simulation inside an interactive game designed as a social network site ‘White Smoke’. What is different and very effective about this cybersafety/digital citizenship game is the immersive nature of being inside the social network and interacting with the characters in the scenarios and actively having to seek out through the maze that is a social network to find out what is really going on.

This is a good one – send your kids there. http://www.smokescreengame.com (Most suitable for teenagers.)
