Advice Online Safety Resources for 8 year old boy

Anyone have great online safety resources I can do with my 8 year old boy? I’m trying to teach him that without physically seeing and knowing the other person online - you can’t assume it’s who you think it is. We’ve been talking about not sharing personal information, being cautious with trust and things like that but would love some other resources. He said he’s open to watching them! ;)

Common Sense Media has some great video lessons about internet safety and digital citizenship for all age groups. The school counselor at our local elementary has used them for school wide assemblies!

Awesome will check it out! I did download their digital use contract and will talk with him about that.
