8th July 2006

posted in isafety, podcasts |

This podcast is a presentation shared by Lieutenant Jennifer Rodgers of the Oklahoma City Police Department on July 7, 2006, at the Oklahoma Department of Education’s Leadership 2006 conference. The topic of Officer Rodgers’ presentation was Internet Safety, i-SAFE. iSafe is a Congressionally endorsed educational initiative to engage a wide variety of community stakeholders in conversations relating to dangers present in the online environment and safe behaviors that everyone should practice in the virtual world. The project is well funded and organized, utilizing a combination of instructional strategies to support its educational goals. A train-the-trainer model is used, and adults can become iSafe certified either online or through face to face classes. A student peer-to-peer educational model is used by iSafe, and excellent DVD videos are available for trainers to use including engaging interviews with students as well as adults about internet safety issues. Many different options for internet safety curriculum are available today, and iSafe is certainly one of the best that is worth checking out.
