Many things in life carry inherent risks: the Internet is no exception. Of course, that doesn't mean young people should avoid or be afraid of surfing the web, but it helps to be aware of potential dangers. Think Before You Click is a solid program that outlines a variety of digital risks, featuring teens who share their real-life stories of dangerous misadventures online, which include peer cyberfighting and cyberbullying, hacker attacks, online harassment or outright threats, privacy issues, and online adult predators. After looking at the risks, the program offers 12 practical rules for staying safe online, while an FBI special agent adds expert advice on identifying and dealing with threats. An excellent overview of a current topic, featuring a solid accompanying curriculum, Think Before You Click is highly recommended. Aud: I, J, H. (E. Gieschen)
