Program Description
There is no doubt we now live in an “Internet Age.” At the click of a mouse, you can e-mail hundreds of people simultaneously, buy that long-desired vintage automobile, or create a personal profile to share with the world. With unlimited opportunities, cyberspace may well have become the new “final frontier.” How best can we explore this frontier? How can we minimize risk and maximize safety? How can we help students be secure in their Internet activities? These are important questions, and we invite you and your students to participate in this important discussion. Students will interact with Chris Pickering, Chief Investigator from the Missouri Attorney General’s office and current Miss Missouri Lindsay Casmaer, a victim of cyber-bullying and cyber-stalking herself. Students will also have the chance to share with each other as well.Topics will include online predators, cyber-bullying, identity theft and other Internet-related issues “This is such an important issue – it is absolutely critical for kids, parents and community members to be on the same page with regard to online safety,” said Randy Raw, Manager of Network Security at MOREnet. “The Internet is a fantastic learning tool, but like any tool, people need to understand what the risks are and how to use it safely.” Interactive videoconference space is limited so contact us early to enroll your students.
