In a recent Senate Commerce Committee hearing and in Cox’s National Teen Summit on Internet Safety, there was much discussion on the need for Internet safety education in schools. Today, the state of Florida announced an encouraging step toward such a program. The state’s attorney general said Florida students will begin receiving cyber safety education this fall. From the attorney general’s press release: “Designed to empower children to use the Internet safely, the program combines real-life stories and examples to help students identify the ways they could be victimized online as well as important safety tips to protect themselves from Internet child predators.” Reaching middle and high school students, the program also will include an Internet Student Advisory Council that wisely links tech-savvy teens with law enforcement to identify Internet trends and potential dangers.
