The kidSMART website

The purpose of kidSmart is to educate children on how to stay safe on the internet. It does this through the use of games, images, videos and texts. KidSMART is child-friendly. It has a uses a range of colours, text types, games and images making it attractive to children.

As e-safety is increasingly important in today’s society  due to the number of child internet users increasing it makes it essential that children are aware of the dangers of the internet and ways to stay safe on the internet. To an extent, Kidsmart does this effectively. The site breaks down e-safety into several important topics such as staying safe whilst gaming and staying safe whilst using social media. Although the site provides useful information and covers the important tips and ways children can be smart and safe whilst using internet, it is out of date. Rather than children being informed about staying safe on Facebook they are informed about staying safe on Bebo, which is not used as much anymore.
