With awesome cartoon-style design, animation, games, activities, and free giveaways like wallpaper for your computer, this site is pulling out all the stops to show kids how using the Internet can be fun and safe. Focusing on Internet safety instruction, the site educates kids on how to follow Internet etiquette, avoid illegal activities like downloading improperly, and what to do when receiving an email from a stranger or a spammer. Many of the resources are good tips for adults, too!

"Research has borne out the potential for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as an aid to educators in support of each other, and, to improve the teaching and learning environment by modeling the self-organization and self-determination that are hallmarks of independent, lifelong learners. These characteristics help to reinforce the idea that everyone at school is both a teacher and a learner. My eCoach is the best tool of which I am aware that can support these self-organized, peer-learning groups.

Without question, My eCoach is a one-of-a-kind innovation that similar Open Source tools find difficult to approximate generally because there does not exist the same level of customer service. What My eCoach has made unique, no other has come close to creating the kind of safe, scaffolding environment of this system. Although a proprietary system, My eCoach is an "open environment" with the ability to integrate other school and district tools including Open Source tools."
