Comprehensive and Required Internet Safety Program Introduced by Leading Virtual Public School, Connections Academy®

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- Connections Academy, a high-quality, highly accountable virtual public school has launched a new curricular initiative that places emphasis on Internet Safety. All students in grades K-8 are required to complete special units dedicated to teaching safe and responsible use of the Internet as a component of their Educational Technology and Online Learning courses. High School students study Internet Safety as part of the popular elective, Introduction to Computers and Applications.

"It goes without saying that most children are on the Internet these days." said Erin Kellner, Technology Curriculum Associate for Connections Academy, "And for our students, who spend a good deal of time learning and interacting online, the issue of Internet Safety is even more important. We want to ensure that Connections Academy students are prepared with the knowledge required to make wise decisions online. It is important that students and their families understand the risks and responsibilities involved with Internet use and what they can do to make their Internet experiences safe."

Connections Academy selected the internationally recognized i-SAFE? (www.iSAFE.org) curriculum because of its reputation as a leader in Internet safety education. Lessons present a prevention-oriented program to students, addressing issues associated with the Internet through real-life stories, scenarios, and activities. Simultaneously, students engage in skill-building activities for being safe and responsible cyber citizens. Each grade presents age-appropriate content -- lessons increase in both frequency and content depth with each grade level. Units cover a variety of topics including: Cyber Community Citizenship and Personal Safety for younger students and Copyright, Intellectual Property, Personal Safety, Cyber Bullying, Text Messaging Safety, and others for older students.

"I think it is a very important addition to every child's education. I am pleased that Connections Academy has made such a commitment to the topic and ultimately helping to keep our students safe and responsible," said Elizabeth Cowan whose son attends Connections Academy in California. "The Internet is a great resource -- especially for students. We want to do everything we can to be sure our students have the knowledge to make good choices when they are online."

Students at each K-8 grade level will be required to study Internet Safety year after year as they progress through Connections Academy's educational technology coursework. Students benefit from interactive courses aimed at mastering basic computer skills and terminology and that support students as online learners.
