Internet Safety Seminars for Students
Kdcop Internet Safety Seminars
Designed for Middle School and
High School Students
Keith just returned from two trips in South Dakota for dynamic and interactive school assemblies covering seven school districts. Several seminars were sponsored by YouthWise, the school Safe and Drug Free committees and Realtors Against Meth. Over one thousand students learned about the dangers and challenges of the Internet. Keith's Seminars involve student and teach interaction in an upbeat, yet poignant atmosphere.
Keith's second trip to South Dakota gave him the opportunity to spread the Internet Safety message to three more school districts. Read about it in this reent article from the Meade County Times-Tribune of Sturgis, South Dakota:

Quote from the article:
"He ended the program telling the students: “You have more power than you think you do with this information. Talk to your younger brothers and sisters. Talk to your friends about the dangers. And if you’re hurting, don’t keep it inside. Talk to an adult. Tell someone.”
Larry Bakke said he appreciated the assembly and said kids can hear the same information from their parents and choose not to listen.
“But when it comes from a professional who has dealt with it, they tend to listen,” Bakke said."

Why teach Internet safety in schools when the classrooms along with the academic schedules are already so crowded? The answer is simple. It's needed. The Internet is increasingly becoming a part of everyday life. Today children of all ages turn to the Internet for information, news, entertainment, and friendship. It is important to address the risks that come with this wonderful new technology. When personal safety is addressed in the classroom, students can learn from each other and practice generalizing the knowledge in a safe environment.

Children can use the Internet at home, school, daycare, or libraries as well as on handheld devices. The Internet is an amazing, dynamic, and interactive environment for learning; however, many parents and educators are concerned about the new dangers that this wonderful technology brings with it.
