Monday, February 22, 2010 Internet Safey Class @ CSD Next Week

St. Louis area educators, do you want to learn the Internet Safety concepts of:

  • Cyber Security?
  • Personal Safety?
  • Cyber Bullying?
  • Cyber Predators?

Do you worry about the dangers that lurk online for our children? We teach them how to be safe within the physical community, but what about safety in the cyber community? In this class, learn how you can help your students navigate the world wide web- safely. For instance, do you and your 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 have the opportunity to learn about the iSAFE 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.

On March 3 & 4, come to CSD for Online “Street Smarts:” Being Legal, Literate, and Secure.

The class runs 4:00 – 7:00 pm each evening and costs $138 for CSD member and $214 for non-members. To sign up, click here.

Friday, October 10, 2008 Teaching Students How to be Safe Online

Cooperating School Districts (CSD) is an education consortium serving 64 public school districts in Missouri and Illinois. CSD strives to share the latest in emerging technologies. The Virtual Learning Center at CSD teaches educators how to integrate technology into the classroom. Technology is a tool that prepares students with the higher order thinking and questioning skills needed for the workforce. When students work with technology and the Internet, they are required to use these skills. Each project they work on is, in essence, a performance task. Our cyber safety course shares how to get online and use the resources found there safely and effectively. This course does have 1 graduate credit available; see registration website.
