For Educators
Computers and the Internet are tremendous tools for educators and students, and have significantly increased learning opportunities for students throughout Idaho.
As an educator, you play a crucial role in guiding our children towards smart choices while online. Teach children about the risks of the Internet, as well as the responsibilities of being a “cyber citizen,” to ensure our kids will not become victims or victimize others while online.
