Diana Woodside at the Attorney General's office (dwoodside@attorneygeneral.gov) asked that I mention a few things as part of my presentation.
 * Attorney General's office will send agents to do free presentations (with freebie for students). The presentations could be done as school wide assembly or classroom.
 * The AG's office also has information/presentations on drugs and gun violence.
 * The 14 minute cyberbullying video does include two stories - One is about a girl from Manheim Central, and the other is about a student from Florida.


 * DVDs and mousepads:-)

Mala Bawer, Executive Director mala@cybersmart.org "How are we different than other safety programs?

CyberSmart! fosters 21st century skills to increase student engagement and prepare students to achieve in today's digital society. In this way we are very different—and substantially more effective—than organizations that only promote messages alerting educators, students, and parents to the dangers of the Internet. While we do directly address online safety and security issues, we do so with a clear focus on the educational objective—fostering 21st century skills to increase student engagement and prepare students to achieve in today's digital society.

CyberSmart! Online Workshops, facilitated professional development, give educators a hands-on experience in 21st century skills—the new basic skills—to meet the learning needs of today’s students. Educators engage in the same kinds of learning they are expected to facilitate in the classroom.

Two free resources support daily teaching. The free CyberSmart! Student Curriculum empowers students and the free CyberSmart! Educator Toolbar puts 21st century skills into everyday practice."
