Welcome to Surfing Smarter: Social Media Safety for Kids! This website was created by the Website Team from the Seminar and Digital Rhetoric Course at The University of Mary Washington. Our mission is to provide valuable and essential information regarding online safety and practices. The content is geared toward adolescents to young adults. We believe young teens and adults must be taught to utilize practical internet safety precautions. Our goal is to provide parents, educators, and adolescents become aware of emerging risks, gain confidence, and become better equipped when facing harmful or inappropriate content. We hope our helpful tips and tricks will provide a safer online experience and build up children’s resilience to get the best out of the digital world as they grow.
