Light refreshments and child care will be provided.
The Michigan Cyber Safety Initiative (CSI) features customized Internet safety presentations for school students and a community seminar for adults. Since the program’s establishment, more than one million students have benefited from CSI programming. The new student safety hotline, OK2SAY is an innovative new program offering students the ability to confidentially report threats to student safety.
The community seminar provides practical tools including Internet safety tips and how to: 1) access the Michigan Sex Offender Registry; 2) understand the impact of digital footprints; 3) appreciate the risk of sharing photos with embedded location information; 4) recognize the potential dangers and legal ramification of sexting; and 5) identify cyberbullying warning signs and develop a plan of action. This presentation will also cover what the students see in their respective presentations, as well as what OK2SAY is, and how it works.
