Enabling Digital Citizenship Programs Within Your District's Network Infrastructure

Digital Citizenship Programs allow districts to focus on safe and appropriate internet access for each student based on their level of digital proficiency and online conduct.   A recent study by The Pew Internet and American Life Project reports that 31% of students have been victims of bullying at school, much of that done online. Digital Citizenship Programs focus on the safe and appropriate use of technology by students and are more important now than ever in meeting state regulations regarding cyberbullying.  Join this web seminar to find out how schools can control the level of Internet access for each student and how technology enables the freedom for students and administrators to utilize the internet without fear.

Topics to be covered include:

• A presentation by Mike Ribble, author of “Digital Citizenship in Schools” and a pioneer on the subject.
• A case study from Woodford County Schools in Kentucky about their use of the Digital Driver’s License program and how it ties into their multi-tiered approach to resource access.
• The role of a district’s network infrastructure in ensuring appropriate online behavior
