This project will reduce online child victimization by enhancing appropriate use of, and safety on, the Internet for a national population of teachers, students and parents. The project will support the expansion of i-SAFE's core curricula and the dissemination of internet safety information through web and other appropriate resources. The project will also enhance community outreach materials and expand public awareness to enlist education professionals regionally and nationally as participants and advocates of the i-SAFE Safe Schools Education Initiative and Community Outreach Campaign.
