Background –

Tennessee Public Chapter No. 989 (SB3702) Internet use policies in schools: Effective

July 1, 2008 which amends T.C.A. Title 49, Chapter 1, Part 2 that requires a director of

schools to biennially file an Acceptable Internet Use Policy (AUP) with the

commissioner of education. The policy, which must be adopted by the local school

board, must include minimum requirements, such as preventing inappropriate use

and access to inappropriate material, required filters for pornography, Internet safety

programs, and parent communication. School principals must implement appropriate

Internet filtering technology. Commissioner of education promulgates and distributes

rules on Internet safety programs.

The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), passed by Congress in

December 2000, applies to all schools and libraries that receive E-rate

discounts for Internet access and internal connections. On April 5, 2001,

the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued regulations for

schools and libraries receiving non-telecommunications E-rate discounts.

D.A.R.E. Activity Lessons

D.A.R.E. America and iKeepSafe.org have teamed up to create 14 simple activities that teach important internet safety principles to children (4-10 years). Each activity is designed to be used with a parent, teacher, or law enforcement officer or perhaps an older child. Expect about 10 minutes for each activity.

Safe Connects Activities

Net Literacy is comprised of an equal number of youth and adult board members. US Senators Lugar and Bayh serve as our honorary Co-Chairs. Over 400 students have served as volunteers. We are a student managed nonprofit that has a mission statement, a brand identity, policies and procedures, a volunteers handbook, training materials, and outcome objectives.

Safe Connects teaches K-12 students and their parents about Internet safety in four age- appropriate modules. This program is powerful because it was developed by students and is taught by students. We have received funding for its development by the United Way and Lilly Endowment. It is presented at schools to both students and their parents, together. Because Internet safety is a family decision and requires respectful follow-up discussions, we provide collateral materials so families can discuss various Internet safety issues together, after the program. Our website provides additional resources for teachers, students, and parents.
