US curriculum to include online safety
« on: August 17, 2007, 22:30 »


Quote
"The National School Boards Association reported that 96 per cent of school districts claim that at least some of their teachers assign homework requiring internet use. But there is still no formal education on how to stay safe, secure and ethical online, despite the fact that the internet, like the real world, has threats and dangers which students may come across in the normal course of a day. These include communications from identity thieves, online predators and cyber-bullies."

Good idea!  :thumb:  Let's hope the kids take some notice of what's being taught.
Many thanks to all our members, who have made PC Pals such an outstanding success!   :thumb:

I would rather have money spent on a common sense course then a cyber-awareness course. Probably get a lot more bang for your buck.
