Brian,
I'm not sure how your proposal relates to our mission. Remember, we are not a technology conference.Can you please revise and make sure it ties into our goals here?

Would this be more on topic since the mission is global communities?

Target Audience (such as primary school teachers, high school administrators, students, etc.):
middle school, high school, counselors, teachers, students and parents.
Short Session Description (one line):
Internet Safety for Educators, Students and Parents
Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):
The Internet provides an ideal platform to help students, parents and teachers learn more
and interact with each other in near real time.
As more and more lessons, content, videos, and social networking bridge the divide between
home and school, schools around the world face the challenges and legalities of
Internet use in the classroom.
Issues such as digital citizenship, bullying / cyberbullying, illegal file-sharing,
freedom of speech, privacy, security and virus contamination now require new policies
that need to be implemented in the school and at home.
While this presentation does not aim to solve all of these problems, it is designed to
focus on a variety of issues as we build bridges between school, home and cyberspace.

This still does not tie directly to our mission. You need to go to OPTIONS and edit your proposal. Please do not post your changes as a reply. Please add language that specifically addresses why digital citizenship is important in the globally connected classroom. This is not an ICT conference.
If you would like your proposal to be considered for the 2012 Global Education conference, please make required changes by October 29th.
Cordiales saludos.
Muy interesante esta temática, ya que se presenta con mucha frecuencia no sólo en los estudiantes sino también el los adultos a través de mensajes telefónicos y redes sociales. El acoso y la intimidación trae consigo severas consecuencias sobre todo en la población juvenil.
