Always, we offer lots of suggestions and safety tips to round out our presentations.
I. Youth Presentations
Your Life Online : Privacy - permanent vs. public reputations - social media sites - predators - sexting - tips for staying safer.
Grades 4-5, 6-7 & 8-10
Young people are spending record amounts of time online. They are doing more, posting more information and visible to more people than ever before. This presentation teaches children and youth about the consequences of posting information online - how public it is, and how long it will last.
Being Kind Online : Conduct - online harassment - codes of conduct - online ethics and possible criminal charges - tips for staying safer.
Grades 4-5, 6-7 & 8-10
Many recent academic research and industry reports suggest that educating children and youth about responsible online ethics, respect for communal codes of conduct and the consequences of inappropriate activities, decreases online harassment. This presentation addresses the increasing demand within schools for a pro-active, awareness-raising presentation that promotes positive citizenry online.
Playing Responsibly Online : Citizenry - gaming - piracy, file sharing and copyrights - critically thinking skills - online politics and activism - online risks - the future of technology
Grades 8- 10 & 11-12
Teens social lives were complicated before the internet. Now in addition to their traditional social lives, teens are active social agents online as well. As they enter adult hood and advance their mastery of online technologies, youth are often unclear about the shifting legal parameters of producing and consuming online content. This presentation will discuss online citizenry, gaming and file-sharing/copyright issues.
