A Cyber World of Trouble for Elementary School Students Have many of your students adopted virtual pets on Webkinz? Are they members of Club Penguin? Do they know the ways in which Cyber-Predators using these and other “kid-friendly” sites target victims? We will cover these issues and many others during this kid-friendly, informative, and interactive program. By bringing three-dimensional reality to the two-dimensional world of Cyberspace, students will better understand the world of cyber-socializing and cyber-bullying. Cyber-Smarts for Middle School Students
Have many of your students created MySpace profiles? Are your students checking their “Hotornot” ratings in between classes? Are they playing “Slap-a-Ho” or “Hide the Hotties” during class? 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, and cyber-stalking. 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.
Building Your Digital Dossier: A Cyber-Technology Update for High School and College Students
Will the digital dossier of your students someday trump their paper resume? Have your students entrusted their future to the Privacy Settings on Facebook? Can free speech be held against them? Would their graduate school rescind an offer of admission if they saw your student's latest text messages? Participants are led through a tour of live popular websites while we discuss their risks of use. 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. In exploring the technologies that have grown up alongside today’s students, participants will better understand how to protect themselves from possible addictions and exploitations. Cyber-Smarts for the Already Gifted and Talented: For Faculty and Staff by Katie Koestner
Do your faculty members know what a Hotornot rating is and how it can affect a student’s self-esteem? Have any of your staff members received MySpace messages from students? Do they understand the consequences of video phone technology in the academic setting? Do they know how X-Box live outings might affect students’ interpersonal and language skills? "Cyber-Smarts" effectively bridges the gap between adults and today’s cyber-generation caused by the explosive growth of the Internet, video games, and other popular technologies. A Cyber World of Trouble for Parents by Katie Koestner Do you know what archive.org is and how it might affect your child's college admission? Do you know current blog topics of choice among teens? Do you know the purpose of BitTorrent Programs and how the use of such programs may make parents liable? Do you know how predators use MySpace, Facebook, and Xanga to locate their next targets? Do you know what an X-Box live outing is? Do you know what the difference is between a Facebook "Poke" and a Facebook "Photo Tag"? If you have no idea what we are talking about, then "A Cyber World of Trouble" is the program for you.
