Tuesday Teacher Training: Navigating the Cyber Highway: What Educators Need to Know About Cybersafety - 10 Hour Online Course Course Description: Because our students live in a world where interactions in cyberspace have become the norm, Public Law 110-385, also known as the Broadband Data Improvement Act, provides for Internet safety training. This law will require schools that receive federal funding through the E-rate Program for Internet service, Internet access or internal connections, to include as a part of their Internet safety policy, “educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms and Cyberbullying awareness and response.” For maximum effectiveness, the responsibility to provide appropriate safety instruction for students is one that must be shared by all educators. What do teachers need to know to ensure the information they provide is accurate and appropriate? How can educators help students understand what constitutes responsible online conduct? What ethical guidelines should educators follow when posting online? What do students say their teachers should know about Internet safety? The information in this episode of Tuesday Teacher Training is critical for all who are invested in ensuring the safety of students in today’s digital age.
