Eclipse Safety
Eye Safety
Never look directly at the sun. It is not that the sun is more dangerous than usual to look at during a partial eclipse; it is just that the sun puts out more energy than your eye can safely handle. Check out the link below for some eye safety tips from NASA:

Safe Ways to Look at the Sun
Solar Glasses
During the partial phase of the eclipse (or really any time) you should look at the sun only through special filters or glasses designed specifically for that purpose.
Solar Projectors
Another way to indirectly watch the eclipse is to make a solar projector. These systems project the image of the sun on a white screen, and you can safely look at it as much as you like. There are lots of great plans for how to set this up. See, for example:
