Session description

Let's focus on teaching upper elementary, middle & high school students about being safe while they are on the Internet and using technology. Be the hero of your school by using this real-world, well-prepared, fun, and interactive session with your students. Come get the resources to reteach this session!

Purpose & objective

Purpose: The purpose of this session is to teach educators how to speak to students directly about their own Internet safety! It is a presentation that the audience can take and modify to reuse with their students. I present it as if they are students (with breakouts to discuss HOW to discuss this from the educator's perspective). This session is full of discussion!

Objectives:
The participant will be able to
1. Verbalize the importance of Internet safety to pre-teens and teens
2. Evaluate how much information is given online even when they may not realize it
3. Appraise what are appropriate in pictures
4. Inspect what predators are looking for and how they operate
5. Review how to stay safe online, including data security, radicalization and other issues pressing to students today!

Evidence of Success:
-Evaluation of session
-Participant participation
