January 20, 2011 The Elk Grove Unified School District, in collaboration with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, has selected the winners of the Internet Safety Video Contest. The video contest is one component of Elk Grove Unified’s Internet Safety Initiative, which involves a three-pronged approach to educate staff, parents and students about cyberbullying, online predator strategies and other online Internet safety issues. The Elk Grove Unified School District and U.S. Attorney’s Office have partnered on the contest to increase awareness about Internet safety. The 2011 Internet Safety Video Contest is an innovative example of how Elk Grove Unified has taken the initiative to be a leader in the importance of internet safety outreach. The initiative includes professional development classes about Internet Safety and Web 2.0 technology, an Internet Safety blog and cyber ethics for staff and Internet safety classes for parents. Most recently, students in grades 4-12 were invited to produce a PSA video that promotes the safe and ethical use of the Internet. Winners and honorees were selected at the elementary, middle and high school levels. The students were recognized at the EGUSD Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, January 18, 2011.
