This is an excellent site to use. Still disheartening that so much cyber-bullying still happens.

This is a collection of Internet Safety and Cyberbullying Resources provided by Iowa's Keystone Area Education Agency. I highlighted the two websites that I currently use to teach about  Cyber Citizenship, which are Cybersmart and Professor Garfield: Internet Safety and You.

This collection is one to bookmark and use. Different levels of resources.

United States Quick Tips: A good rule of thumb is: if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't film it or post it as a comment. If someone is bothering you on the site, using the

Online or cyber citizenship isn't just about recognising and dealing with online hazards, it's also about building safe spaces and communities, as well as understanding how to manage personal information, and using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same.

This is a really interesting and challenging legal issue. The article is an opinion piece on current anti-bullying legislation in Iowa. The author takes a position against the bills' position that schools have authority to discipline cyber-bullying issues outside of school hours. The author's position is that the bill violates students' first amendment rights. I would tend to agree, although anytime a teacher does set up a forum through facebook, twitter, or some other public sharing place, the school does have the responsibility to teach cyber-citizenship and monitor those forums created through or by the school. For example, if a classroom teacher has students create twitter accounts for class or a facebook group for a lesson, then the school has the responsibility to get involved. The lines do get blurred, though, and it is not a 'cut and dried' situation that one bill can adequately respond to on it's own.

It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!

When the nation's ultimate collector and protector of classified information is impressed by a university's cybersecurity curriculum, it's no secret.

One key to the curriculum's success is that security concepts are covered in multiple core classes, not just one or two specialty courses.
