Educating Kids about Online Safety

April 25, 2012 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm - Ballroom B
Track: Track 3 - Safety

Time and again, we hear the words “education is key” when it comes to online safety.  But how do you actually go about teaching kids to be safe online?  And how do you do so effectively?  This panel of experts will look at a variety of commonly-used techniques (e.g., codes of conduct, safety tips and information, parent-child safety contracts, rewards systems, scare tactics, etc.) and tell you what works and what doesn’t.  The experts will also offer tips on what information should be included within your educational materials, and who needs to get involved for your safety campaign to be successful. This session produced by the kidSAFE® Seal Program
