Cyber-Smarts for Middle School Students
Have many of your students created MySpace Profiles and do they know the ways in which Cyber-Predators use the Internet to target victims? Are your students checking their “Hotornot” ratings in between classes? Have they “Faced the Jury?” Are they sending “Facebook Pokes?” Are they playing “Slap-a-Ho” or “Hide the Hotties” during class time? Do they understand the consequences of using video phones to record the behavior and images of others? This highly interactive program provides an update on the world of Cyber-Dating, Cyber-Rating, Blogs, Pornography, Gaming, Gambling, Cyber-Stalking and effectively brings three-dimensional reality to the two-dimensional world of Cyberspace. These technologies have revolutionized youth social scenes in ways we are only beginning to understand and unfortunately many students are completely unaware of the dangers offered by these technologies.
"Cyber-Smarts" is a fun, informative program on everything students need to know about the downside of these cutting-edge technologies. Participants are led through a tour of live popular websites while we discuss their risks of use for children and teens. Our presenter’s insights into online behavior are gleaned from research, experience, insider-information from today’s teens as well as partnerships with technology-focused institutions and the FBI. The program covers everything from Instant Messenger to understanding the techniques of online pornographers to the temptations of online gambling. In exploring the technologies that have grown up alongside students, participants will better understand how to protect themselves from possible addictions and exploitations.
