""Digital citizenship is a worthy endeavor, and it is also the law. California AB 307 requires district technology plans to 'include a component to educate pupils and teachers on the appropriate and ethical use of information technology in the classroom.' Governor Arnold Scharzenegger's Executive Order S-06-09 established a California ICT Digital Literacy initiative, asserting that 'it is an important goal to ensure that California residents are digitally literate.' Similarly, the federal S 1492 Broadband Data Improvement Act (Public Law 110-385), also titled Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, mandates that all schools receiving e-rate discounts must teach students "about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking sites and in chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response." Quoted from Digital Citizen, Farmer and Siminitus."

"Publications and resources, including community-based organizations, for educators, parents, and community members with tools for recognizing bullying behavior and approaches for determining how to respond. "

"According to a new Character Counts Study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics (the largest ever undertaken of the attitudes and conduct of high school students), nearly half (47%) say they were bullied, teased, or taunted in a way that seriously upset them in the past year. The study reports the responses from 43,321 high school students. Nationally statistics have shown in the past that 32% of students reported being bullying during a one year period. "

"WiredSafety's volunteers have been doing this since right after the Web was launched. For more than 16 years we have been helping people who need our help online. Our sites have had different formats, approaches and lots and lots of coders, editors, writers and webmasters. We are all volunteers, and our online presence looked different every time someone added something or took something away. The site and our other sites grew, but not always in the right way. Our haphazard sites and navigation would be modified to adapt to a need we discovered, and new topics shoe-horned in when they emerged. No one overall vision for the site. And it stopped reflecting our One Vision, One Mission, One WiredSafety rule. We never had enough time to plot our site, update everything and adopt the newest technologies to help us address the needs of the public or even all our volunteers. Please accept our apologies. That was before. This is now. With the generous support of Google, Spectorsoft and a couple others we have ripped everything down and started from scratch. Only about 10% done, we launched with the new site to clean things up. Expect daily changes and improvements. "

"Tiny Techie is a 9 year old blogger. She enjoys singing, dancing and playing games on her iPhone and Nintendo DSi. She created this blog to share her reviews of all the games she plays. After looking at technology sites with game reviews, she realized adults were reviewing kid games. Some of the reviews of the games she enjoyed were unfair. That's when she decided to write her own reviews, from a kid's point of view. Tiny Techie is about all things techie. Just for kids."

"MouseMail uses Active Email Filtering to scan for inappropriate content, as well as non-approved contacts in every email. Questionable messages will not be delivered to the child, but diverted to the parent for review.
