i-SAFE Curriculum Examples

i-SAFE curriculum is designed to foster active participation between students and their instructors through classroom discussions and cooperative group learning activities. Learners age-appropriately build an understanding of cyberspace as a community with real-world consequences. Integral to each lesson, in all grade levels, is the incorporation of an empowerment activity, which provides students with the opportunity to share what they have learned about Internet safety with their peers, their families, and other community members. In this way, students internalize and take ownership of the concepts learned.
