Online and mobile technology are now a routine part of everyday life. As a community, it’s important that we recognize that while this technology plays a major role in our schools and homes, it also comes with potential risks.

Unlimited access to information and communication can create valuable learning opportunities and positive experiences. However, it can also expose users to inappropriate content and other online dangers. Our goal is to help learners make thoughtful, responsible choices in the digital world so they can protect their safety, personal information, and reputation.
