Virginia First State to Require Internet Safety Lessons - Science News | Science & Tech... - 1 views

  •  
    Did you know that Virginia was the first state to require Internet Safety training in schools? With the rise of social networking and cyberbullying Bob McDonnell (Attorney General at the time) got the law passed to require this in schools. I think it requires at least a one hour lesson each year for every student.

    I never dreamed in a MILLION years that I would ever agree with anything that came out of McDonnell's mouth (Because as of recent his support of people like Cuccinnelli has put me over the edge!), but I do agree with what he said about students thinking that they are bulletproof and doing potentially harmful things online. I did not know that we had laws that stated that internet safety training be done. I can't think of anything official that we do with the students, but the parents must go through ibook training. I guess they go over it then. At TMS we do cyberbullying lessons, but they don't at all schools, so I am wondering where and when this state law/mandate is being taught?

    I did not know this either, but I think it is great! Are all schools required to do this training because I don't think that we have anything mandatory at my school. I wish we did; for the staff, students and parents!

    I have actually enjoyed teaching the internet safety lessons to my students the past 2 years. I wonder if there is a possibility of some legislature requiring internet safety lessons for parents.... Just a thought.

    I think one hour per year is minimal. I am glad it exists, but maybe a few times a year as a follow up and reminder for the kids???
