Internet Safety: Creating Real Safety in a Virtual World Linda Criddle, author of “Look Both Ways,” will be the presenter for this program. Linda’s program was chosen by LWSD for implementation across the district to educate teachers, staff and parents not only about the potential dangers in a virtual world, but to give everyone tools and procedures to protect ourselves from becoming targets. She is a wealth of information. You will not be disappointed! How amazing it is that so many choices we make in our virtual world and many little tasks that we commonly perform can put us and our families at risk. Learn how you can view your actions from the criminal’s perspective and adopt online procedures that will reduce your risk. PAST Elementary Level Presentations: March 11 7:00-9:00pm Rose Hill Junior High March 18 7:00-9:00pm Inglewood Junior High March 25 12:00-2:00pm LWSD Resource Center-Board Room The Lake Washington School District has contracted with Linda Criddle, founder of Look Both Ways, an Internet Safety consulting firm, to inform parents on how to keep their families safe in the constantly changing virtual world. A 13 year Microsoft veteran, Criddle is the author of the award winning book “Look Both Ways - Help Protect Your Child on the Internet”, has written an online credited course entitled, Internet Safety for Educators for Washington State University, and is currently working on a complete K-12 Internet Safety Curriculum. This presentation is not your common ‘10-tips for Internet Safety’ or intended to instill fear of internet use by school aged children. Instead participants will acquire a deeper understanding of: - Why Internet safety is not a ‘teen’ issue; everyone faces online safety issues – even those who don’t personally use the Internet - The landscape of online risk - what factors create an environment ripe for abuse - How to identify the information you are really exposing online – not just what you think you’re exposing - How to think like a predator and how to avoid their traps for financial, emotional or physical exploitation - How to manage life on the web and the impact of information permanence - Why the victims of cybercrimes are NEVER at fault - How to create a realistic positive dialog about online safety with others Linda Criddle encourages parents to bring their students along to hear this information together.
