Student safety shouldn’t just be the responsibility of one person inside a school or district. Ongoing conversations should take place between technology teams, administration, faculty and even law enforcement about how to protect students from cyberbullying, self-harm, drug or alcohol use, pornography and other harmful situations.
The role of these individuals was the theme of last week’s Gaggle webcast, “Backpacks, Browsers and Badges: Law Enforcement’s Role in Online Student Safety,” which welcomed Chief Ian Moffett from the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department and Sarah Trimble-Oliver, CIO at Cincinnati Public Schools.
Andrea Keith from Gaggle got the webcast underway, covering topics such as the growth of law enforcement presence in our schools, statistics regarding violence in schools, and the role Gaggle plays alongside law enforcement agencies like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
