College for Kids isn't just for summer anymore!

  Family Internet Safety
Students use the Internet to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive online games. However, kids can encounter dangerous situations, from viewing inappropriate materials to being asked for face-to-face meetings with strangers. In this hands-on workshop, kids will learn Internet safety rules to help them have a positive Internet experience and learn what can be done to keep themselves safe online. Though parents and children will be grouped separately during class, children must be accompanied by a parent. (Parent must co-enroll in CECC 660 and pay a separate course fee.) For ages 10 and up
