>From Illinois' State Superintendent Christopher Koch's weekly newstter (both August 9th and 16th I believe.):
The Illinois State Board of Education and Attorney General Lisa Madigan will host a webinar Aug. 24 to provide information and resources for educators on Internet safety. In response to the growing phenomena of online aggression and requests from educators for age- appropriate Internet safety information to teach their students, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office has developed four grade-appropriate training modules to assist educators in meeting the Internet safety training requirement for students under the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/27-13.3(c)). The webinar, slated for 2-3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, will include an overview of youth Internet and cell phone usage; information on online exploitation, cyber bullying, sexting and piracy; and resources for educators to use with students in grades 3-12. Sarah Migas from the AG’s Office will be the presenter. Space for the webinar is limited. Reserve a seat at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/116520753. After registering you will receive confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the webinar. System requirements for PC-based attendees are Windows 7, Vista, XP 2003 Server or 2000. For Macintosh-based attendees, Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) or newer is required. --Michael T.

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. "The computer revolution hasn't started yet.
