New York State Internet Safety Initiative
The NYCC eLearning Team has been asked to review the existing Internet Safety section of the New York State Education Department website and provide feedback around the utility of the resource as it relates to statute. In addition, the eLearning team is gathering information on how other states have addressed the issues of internet safety and proper internet use in and out of the classroom.
Each state’s internet safety approach will be reviewed for Acceptable Use Policy guidelines (AUP), resources that support state AUP mandates and examples of internet safety implementation. The eLearning team will focus on identifying state websites whose internet safety sections are high quality, clear and user friendly for policy makers, administrators, teachers, library/media specialists/technology coordinators, students and parents.
