Trade Your Old Books On ‘Cool Talk’!

Don’t just toss out your old storybooks. Now, you can give these treasures a new lease on life by trading them with other bookworms at SingaporeLearning.com’s CoolTalk section.

Within ‘Cool Talk’, you also have access to a host of communication tools that enable you to express your opinions about current topics of interest through blogs, share and exchange ideas through forums and expand your network of friends and contacts.

Hi kids! While its fun to make new friends through blogging and from chat rooms, you should still follow some personal safety rules:

  • Try not to meet the strangers that you’ve made contact with online face-to-face.
  • If you really have to meet up with a stranger, e.g. to trade your storybooks, then go with your parent or friend. Please let an adult know where and when you’re meeting this person.
  • While chatting, NEVER post important personal information about yourself, e.g. your bank account number, NRIC number, parent’s credit card number, etc.
