Online “Street Smarts:” Being Legal, Literate, & Secure
June 25 9 am-4 pm
$125 CSD member; $195 non-member
(One Graduate Credit Available)
Educators, what dangers lurk online for children? We teach them how to be safe within the physical community, but what about safety in the cyber community? During this all day tele class at Cooperating School Districts, learn the Internet Safety concepts of: Cyber Security, Personal Safety, Cyber Bullying and Cyber Predators.
Something to think about: do students know how to validate information found on the Web? Too often, information published on the Internet is viewed as truth, but is it really? Also, what about copyright? Do students have the legal right to copy and paste information from a website into their multi-media presentations and/or their own documents and websites? In addition to Internet Safety, learn the new grammar of the Web and how to:
- Read URL web addresses to find their hidden meaning
- Locate owners of websites
- Evaluate the validity of a website
- Investigate fair use as it applies to student-created digital documents
Participants will learn about iSAFE’s curriculum and the modules available to them in the classroom. They will create model lessons for their students that teach Internet Safety, Literacy, and Intellectual Property/Copyright. St. Louis area teachers, don’t miss out on this opportunity!

I think being secure online today is as much important as being secure on the street. Therefore, any program that teaches how to behave and what to look for and be aware of in the online world is a must for every student and even some adults.
There is a simple tip that every parent can teach their kids: it tells “Don’t believe everything you see and read online”. Act as if you are talking to a friend, who just fooled you and now you don’t want to be caught on that joke again… That’s for smaller kids. For older ones simply explain how online world “works” and what common catches one can get in by trusting everything they see.
