• The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act , a new component of CIPA, requires that your Internet Safety Policy (or Acceptable Use Policy) include measures for educating minors about appropriate online behavior.
Educating Minors
CIPA Requirements
• By July 1, 2012, your Internet safety policy should have been amended to provide for the education of minors to include:
–Appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking sites and in chat rooms
–Cyberbullying awareness and response.
Training requirements under CIPA
CIPA Requirements
• Training requirement began with the 2012 school year
• Must be stated in your Acceptable Use or Internet Safety Policy

Implementation Tips from Ross Local Schools: Curriculum
• Determine which lessons will be covered in each grade level How EasyTech meets E-Rate’s Online Safety Requirements
• Use ‘Duplicate Class’ function from coordinator account to create classes in teachers’ accounts with curriculum pre-loaded (smaller districts)
• Allow custom curriculum items from experienced teachers
Implementation Tips from Ross Local Schools: Curriculum
• Add content into core content areas, Media classes, Tech classes, common classes at the high school level (Careers, Health, etc.)
• If no common classes are available for a grade level (elective based) use Learning.com resources to determine topics and ask a resource officer to give a presentation for an assembly (Avoiding Online Predators, texting safety, etc.)
Implementation Tips from Ross Local Schools: Curriculum
• Younger grades focus on whole-group discussions: teachers assign discussions to class for tracking purposes, students do not need to log in to the system for the teacher to give a grade, use bulk grading options for complete/incomplete items
• Intermediate and older grades focus on journals and interactive lessons
• Can use interactive lessons as whole-group and manually add grades
Implementation Tips from Ross Local Schools: Reporting
• Run the ‘School: All Tracked Scores for School’ report from coordinator log in for each building at the end of each school year
• Ask Principals to check the Learning.comgrade book for each teacher to make sure all grades have been submitted during the last teacher day check out process
