Promoting Safe and Responsible Cyber Behavior

A light lunch will be provided

 

Need help finding materials and resources and understanding the latest topics and concerns? This session will discuss everything from evaluating web sites and citing sources to hot safety topics including sexting and cyberbullying to the latest focus on security issues. Digital Literacy spans a broad spectrum of topics. Classroom curricula are already packed, and the demands on teachers' time preclude them from developing and including stand alone ethics, safety, and security units in their classroom. A stellar cast will share how to combine available C3 content into existing curricula and lessons. Classroom examples will be shared.

1:30 - 3:30 pm

The Forgotten Element: CyberSecurity

 

Bring your own laptop and find ways to protect it from hackers and Internet dangers. Delivered by IT and education personnel experienced in information security issues, this workshop provides a series of hands-on "how to's" to help educators and parents understand the basics and critical security literacy that all citizens should know. Additionally, the workshop will also include lesson plans to help teachers integrate information security concepts into their classroom. Materials can be easily modified to fit both younger and older audiences.

3:30 pm
