Older students help littler ones
This makes enormous sense: Middle and high school students teaching elementary level ones about online safety – simply because kids look up to teenagers so much. Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Steven Del Negro told Channel 9 News that there was growing demand from grade schools to present to students about online safety and there just weren't enough officer-trainers to go around, so he found an alternative that was just as cool. "Del Negro said for the new program he had student teachers - a freshmen honors English class from Drury High School - work with him, prepping the presentation. It includes interactive activities on how to deal with online predators." I bet soon these trainers will be folding in the wisdom that comes from first-hand experience with that other key online-safety topic: cyberbullying (see "Predators & cyberbullies: Reality check").
