iSafe Certification

The iSafe certification was a very interesting training program. I enjoyed learning about all the different topics that I could teach my students about internet use. Some of the topics that I could teach my students include Personal Safety, Cyber Community Issues, Cyber Security, Intellectual Property, and Cyber Predator Identification.

The iSafe curriculum could be taught in any classroom, for any subject. Almost every subject requires students to use the internet for research or for an assignment. Also, the average student is on-line almost everyday using email, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and/or Instant Messaging. Because students are on-line, they need to know about the many different safety concerns that could encounter: viruses, identify theft, stalkers, copyright issues, etc.

As teachers, we want to keep our students safe. We want our students to have the best opportunities that they can get. The iSafe curriculum effectively trains and provides materials for teachers to be able to talk about these subjects with their students. They have different programs for teachers, parents, elderly people, law enforcement, and students. I learned much more about the internet, and I would recommend this training for anyone.
