Digital citizenship.
Part of your CIPA plan.
Bring online responsibility into the learning day. Explore how Yeti Academy’s digital citizenship courses can support the student education portion of your school’s internet safety plan.
Connects internet safety protections with student education for covered schools.
Builds understanding of responsible behavior, communication, and choices online.
Schools teach appropriate online behavior, online interaction, and cyberbullying awareness and response.
Where Yeti fits: Yeti Academy is a curriculum resource for student education. Schools remain responsible for their internet safety policy, filtering, monitoring, public notice and hearing requirements, certification, and implementation.
Instruction belongs
in the bigger plan.
CIPA is the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Schools subject to CIPA have responsibilities for internet-safety protections and educating minors about appropriate online behavior.
See USAC’s current CIPA requirements for applicability, certification, and documentation.
Policies and protections.
Schools adopt and enforce an internet safety policy, use required technology protection measures, monitor minors’ online activities, and meet public notice and meeting requirements.
Learning and discussion.
The education requirement covers appropriate online behavior, interaction on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response.
Local responsibility.
The school’s administrative authority makes the relevant certification. Curriculum selection and classroom implementation should fit the school’s policy and students.
From digital choices
to thoughtful action.
Review these courses with your curriculum and student-safety teams to determine how selected lessons fit your education plan.
