Through the Google Public Policy Blog I just learned about a series of three videos created by YouTube for the purpose of educating students about online behavior. Each of the three videos are roughly two minutes in length. Each video provides clear narration and visual aids. The three videos are Detecting Lies and Staying True, Playing and Staying Safe Online, and Staying Safe on YouTube. These videos could be used in any classroom, but they really seem aimed toward a middle school audience.
Embedded below you will find Playing and Staying Safe Online.

I am actually meeting with admin from my school tomorrow about this issue. It is something we continually are discussing and looking to become more proactive with. These videos will help me get my message across - I hope

Thank you for this information. I like the way this is presented, simple and to the point. Kids definitely need to hear this.
Thanks for sharing these videos. There are great tools out there, and it's important that parents and schools know about them and use them. The more info the better. Bravo!
