CyberSecurity Awareness Month - What Schools Are Doing
We are going to have to do a presentation on Cyberbullying after a bogus Facebook page appeared. Anyone have any resources?
October is National CyberSecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM)! That fact—not to mention recent events in the news about cybersafety and digital citizenship—make it a perfect opportunity to discuss what your school or school district is doing to enhance awareness.
CyberSecurity Awareness encompasses a variety of topics, but technology directors recently shared resources regarding CyberSafety and Digital Citizenship. Here are some links to the web site:
- What Home Users Can Do
- What Educators Can Do
- What Businesses Can Do
- What College Students Can Do
- What College Administrators Can Do
- What Libraries Can Do
- What Local Law Enforcement Can Do
- What Local Government Can Do
Here are there are responses to the query at the top of this blog entry:
-
We were in an audio conference with Walsh Anderson Attorneys at Law, and they reminded us that in 2009, the Texas Legislature added 33.07 to the Penal Code which makes it a third degree felony to use the name or persona of another to create a web page or to post messages on social networking sites absent the person’s consent and with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten another. That law also creates the possibility of a Class A misdemeanor charge where a person sends an email, instant message, or text message, referencing the name, domain address, phone number, or identifying information of another person without consent and with the intent to harm or defraud.
