6. Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
• Address concerns about children's access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet.
• CIPA imposes certain requirements on schools or libraries that receive discounts for Internet access or internal
connections through the E-rate program
• Schools and libraries subject to CIPA are required to adopt and implement an Internet safety policy addressing:
• Access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet;
• The safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms and other forms of direct
electronic communications;
• Unauthorized access, including so-called “hacking,” and other unlawful activities by minors online;
• Unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal information regarding minors; and
• Measures restricting minors' access to materials harmful to them.
You can find out more about CIPA or apply for E-rate funding by contacting the Universal Service Administrative Company's (USAC) Schools and
Libraries Division (SLD) . SLD also operates a client service bureau to answer questions at 1-888-203-8100 or via email through the SLD website.

7. Teach kids the importance of privacy and how to secure
their apps and online accounts.

8. What is privacy?

9. privacy, n.
1. The state or condition of being alone, undisturbed, or free
from public attention, as a matter of choice or right; seclusion;
freedom from interference or intrusion.
2. Absence or avoidance of publicity or display; secrecy,
concealment, discretion; protection from public knowledge or
availability.
3. a place of concealment or retreat.

10. Encourage your kids to read the fine print. We
all know that no one really reads the complete
Terms of Service contract; however, it is good
to remind kids (and adults) to be aware of what
information they're agreeing to share before
they start using an app, and/or a website.

11. Teach your kids to ALWAYS consider the information they're sharing online BEFORE they
share it. For younger kids, make sure they know that information includes their address, phone
number, birth date, what school they go to, etc. and that they shouldn’t be sharing it.
Make sure they understand the basics of good online behavior and let them know that it's not
easy to take back something once it's online. Show them that texts and photos (remove GPS
info) can be easily saved and forwarded to anyone and/or any app after they have been
screenshotted etc. This is eye opening to many kids!
