Seminars Overview
K - 3rd grade. Using the acclaimed Faux Paw's Adventures in the Internet video and a customized curriculum, elementary students learn to keep their personal information safe, stay away from Internet strangers, and to tell trusted adults about anything that makes them uncomfortable.
4th - 5th grade. Through video and interactive curriculum, student appreciate why it is critical to protect their personal information; why they should never arrange to meet in person someone they first encountered online; how to recognize common techniques predators use to deceive students; and how to avoid and, if necessary, respond to cyber harassment.
6th - 8th grade. In addition to the topics covered in the 4th - 5th grade seminar, students are cautioned about revealing personal information on social networking sites and watch compelling videos featuring peer Internet predator and cyber bullying victims.
