Internet Safety for all of us August 6, 2008
Posted by Dottie Black in : Teacher Resources, Technology , trackbackI had the pleasure of attending a presentation on Internet Safety at the McKimmon Center at North Carolina State University on August 5th. The presenter was Linda Criddle, an expert on Cyber Crimes and Internet Safety. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the presentation. I was concerned that it would be more about controlling what our students have access to instead of teaching them responsible behaviors. I was thoroughly fascinated with her presentation. Ms. Criddle put herself in the role of a criminal to illustrate how easy it is to glean information from seemingly safe Internet activities. I was taken aback at how much I did not know about the subject. Until yesterday I considered myself to be somewhat “web savvy”, now I know better. There is way too much information to relay here so I suggest you check out her website. It is chock full of good information including and her book and a course for educators.
