I am familiar with all of the curriculum out there. Nothing does this.

My greatest concern is that the focus is on tracking participation. No
mention of coverage, accuracy, or effectiveness. Bad leadership, IMHO.

In fact most of the current Internet safety curriculum that is available
today is not based on the research evidence of the concerns. Much of it
engages in far too much fear-mongering.

Sorry,

Nancy
