Protect Our Youth Online: A Virtual Event to Start the Conversation
June was Internet safety month. To highlight the importance of Internet safety, we conducted a virtual event where we brought information and resources to parents, educators, child-serving professionals and ICAC Task Force members to help everyone #StartTheConversation about technology safety. During the three sessions, we heard from technology safety experts from around the world who offered tips and resources to help inform and protect children of all ages. The presentations delivered were:
"The Internet holds tremendous potential for our nation's youth; however, the misuse of the Internet to prey on them is a serious problem requiring action by legislators, families, communities, and law enforcement. See Parenting in the Age of Screens.
The ICAC/iKeepSafe Incident Response Tool (IRT) for Schools is a free resource to help schools and law enforcement prepare, respond and collaborate for an effective response to a variety of technology related issues involving school students and staff. The IRT, originally developed by iKeepSafe, has been donated to the ICAC Task Force Program.
