What do you get when you combine the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A organization with Microsoft and Parry Aftab?

Answer: You get the best website on Internet Safety for teen age girls, by teen age girls. Now, I was in the Girl Scouts for eleven years and had the opportunity to participate in a lot of great adventures all across the U.S. and I was glad to see that the organization is still doing great things with and for girls across the U.S., and now the organization has embraced cyberspace as well.

The website is called “Let Me Know (LMK), Life Online,” and its mission is simple:

“LMK was created by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. in partnership with Windows to help you change the world every time you go online. Empower yourself so that you can educate others on the reality of being a teen online and help adults understand the real issues that affect you every day.”

What I really like is that the girls (ages 13 – 17) are the contributing editors to the site and to the newsletter. They talk about such topics as: Privacy, Cyberbullying, Online Sexual Predators, Social Networking, Mobile Devices and more.

At the bottom of each article on the site, girls who belong to the site (membership is free) have a chance to write comments about the article and share their opinions as well.

Parry Aftab contributes on the topics from within the site, too. Who is Parry Aftab, you ask? Parry Aftab is an Internet Privacy and Security Lawyer who works closely with the teen editors on this site to guide them through the “ever-changing maze of online safety.” She’s awesome! So check it out!! Let Me Know (LMK), Life Online.
