Internet and Computer Ethics Course for Kids, Parents and Teachers Launched Online by The Security Awareness Company
Most kids know more about computers and the internet than their parents and teachers, but many arent being taught how to make ethical decisions while using the latest technology. Just because they can do it, doesnt mean they should do it.
Based on Winn Schwartaus critically acclaimed book, Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids, a new web-based ethics course raises the awareness of what kids are capable of and what they are doing when parents and teachers arent monitoring their computer use.
Dont let your kids have uncontrolled access to the internet, Schwartau said. Do you have any idea what they are doing on that computer upstairs? They could be chatting with bad guys, exploring sites on the internet they really shouldn't visit, or unknowingly blogging personal information for identity thieves to find.
Schwartaus book has been hailed by computer security experts as the best security book ever written and a timely solution for a rapidly growing problem today. The one-hour online course and subsequent quiz follow the same guidelines as the book: Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids is not a rule book or Bible of behavior; it merely asks that you think before you act. Consider the consequences to you, your friends, family, co-workers or superiors and yes, even your country. They may not always be so obvious.
"While this book has been written for students in grades 7-12, it has also been designed to promote meaningful discussion between students, teachers and parents, said Bob Bales, Founder and former President of The National Computer Security Association.
The ethics course is part of the security awareness series of online training by Schwartaus Security Awareness Company, Interpact, Inc. Individual courses can be bought immediately for $3.00. Deep discounts are available for education, corporate and government enterprises by contacting Jackie Baumann at (941) 894-6839.
