Web Wise Kids in partnership with Symantec, Inc. and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) is working to establish and implement a coordinated, effective Internet safety effort that increases public awareness about Internet safety issues; and provide training and instruction to media and technology specialists about Internet safety across the United States.
This interactive and informative training will produce Web Wise Kids' Community Trainers. Each trainer will conduct 2 trainings to students in middle school, 2 trainings to students in high school and provide access to the parent program to adults in their community. Each trainer will receive a school kit of MISSING, a school copy of CyberCops and unlimited access to our parent program, Wired With Wisdom; and valuable Internet safety training materials. Participants will complete a My Plan (calendar of events), surveys and will also receive a stipend for participating in this project. Training participants must be present for the entire training.
