REVIEW:
Being safe on the Internet is a concern of parents and teachers or anyone involved in working with children. The CTAP Region IV project takes some of the worry out of using the Internet and other information and communication technologies with students. The six main areas: Personal Information, Cyber Predators, Inappropriate Content, Social Networks, Piracy and Cyber Bullying address some of these major concerns. Each area provides links to resources for educators, parents, and students that include articles, videos, games, and more. Included at the site are a classroom poster on Cyber Safety funded by AT&T Education and a PowerPoint presentation to accompany it, several handouts from the workshop as well as Cyberbullying information, online games, and a presentation by Larry Magid and Anne Collier. |
