ScanURL - check any web address to make sure it's safe


ScanURL.net Logo

ScanURL is a site that will check a URL (web address or domain) and see if it has been reported for phishing, malware, viruses or a poor reputation. It uses multiple 3rd party services, including Google Safe Browsing Diagnostic to scan the websites and report back to you.

This is a great tool to check web sites before you visit them, especially if you are unsure about them. It's also a great tool to share with others to help them protect themselves from malicious web sites.

Here's the report for this blog site: (nice and safe)

Great collection of E-Safety/Digital Literacy Resources



Internet and online safety (e-safety) and digital literacy are huge issues that students need to understand and learn about. A member of my PLN shared this site with me yesterday.

"E-Safety Resources – supporting teaching Digital Literacy" is a site in the UK that has a huge collection of resources to help educators teach, and students to learn, about internet safety and digital literacy.

There links to simulations for social media issues, videos from Common Craft, games, lesson resources and many other sites and resources for digital literacy and safety.

Every teacher should discuss digital literacy and online safety with their students and this site has the resources to help them do that.
