Adobe Educational Leader, Sherry Ziolkowski recently wrote in a general email to the Adobe Educational Leadership group:
"The State of Illinois passed a law requiring that each district have an Internet Safety curriculum. We met as a committee several times last year to write curriculum and gather resources for a website. I have finally completed the student sections of the site and thought that maybe some of you may find it useful, too.
It is divided into three age groups: K-2, 3-5 and 6-8. For each age group there are seven topics: cyberbullying, phishing, digital fingerprint, social networking, cell phones and IM, copyright and stranger danger. Each topic page has what our committee considered essential knowledge, a quote and a ’did you know’ section, as well as links to activities and other resources and videos from many different sources (with permission, of course). The parent and teacher sections are nearing completion.
Any feedback would be appreciated!"

Thanks for sharing this resource on Internet safety. I emailed the link to this website (www.sd25.org/isafety) to all of the computer discovery teachers in my district. It serves as an excellent tool for teaching students how to be smarter digital citizens, which is part of my state’s computer discovery curriculum. Many students don’t realize that cyberbullying is a serious offense. In Mississippi, where I teach, cyberbullying can be charged as a felony.
Justin,
You may want to see an article that Ryan Winters and I wrote several years ago on the reasons for cyberbullying
