Hands On Network

The i-SAFE curriculum is designed to foster active participation between students (K-12) and their instructors (teachers and community volunteers) through classroom discussions and cooperative group learning activities.  Integral to each lesson, in all grade levels, is the incorporation of an empowerment activity, which provides students with the opportunity to share what they have learned about Internet safety with their peers, their families, and other community members. 

Grade-level appropriate activities cover the following topics:

• Cyber Community Citizenship
• Personal Safety
• Cyber Security/Identity Theft/Malicious Code
• Intellectual Property/Copyright & Fair Use
• Cyber Bullying
• Predator Identification
• Homeland Security
• Safe Website Design
• Acceptable Use Policies
• Cyber Relationships

Volunteers that receive the training will have the opportunity to present workshops and activities to classroom-based K12 audiences, school assemblies, after school enrichment programs, community groups, and peers as they feel comfortable.  The first training sessions will begin as early as mid-June with presentations thereafter.
