Anne BubnicAn effective school-based strategy to address the issue of online safety should include these six key components:<br><b>EDUCATIONAL USE</b> - Schools must ensure that when students use the Internet, their activities have an educational purpose -- class assignments, extra credit work, and perhaps some high quality enrichment activities as a reward<br><b>SUPERVISION AND MONITORING</B> Schools must shift focus from reliance on filtering to better supervision and monitoring. <br><b>MEANINGFUL CONSEQUENCES </B> Misuse of the Internet must lead to a meaningful consequence -- but it should be recognized that suspension of Internet access privileges just causes more work for teachers. Requiring a service contribution to the school and establishing “close monitoring status” for all Internet use are preferable consequences. <br><b>ACCIDENTAL ACCESS TO PORN</b> - All students and staff must know that if inappropriate material appears, they should quickly turn off the monitor or turn it so it can’t be seen, and then report it. Following any incident or discovery, there must be a responsible assessment of culpability. <br><B>INAPPROPRIATE BLOCKING</B> Selected staff in every school building must have the authority and ability to quickly override the filter to provide other staff or students access to sites that have been inappropriately blocked<br><B>INTERNET SAFETY AND RESPONSIBLE USE EDUCATION</b> Schools must provide effective Web 2.0 Internet safety and responsible use education to students and parents. <br><br>
