i-Safe/Identity.net Partnership

iSafe.org has partnered with Idenitity.net, to provide online, engaging activities and contests to enable students to learn about how their online identities affect broader aspects of their lives, as well as how to avoid safety and security risks by managing their online profiles. Teachers in 50 states are provided access to a curriculum integrating the identity.net platform of helping people manage and control their online identity. Students are notarized by teachers, verifying who they are, in order that they can safely participate in activities such as online voting, music video production about their identity and more.

i-SAFE Inc. is the worldwide leader in Internet safety education. Founded in 1998 and endorsed by the U.S. Congress to make the Internet a safer place, i-SAFE’s mission is to educate and empower youth to make their Internet experiences safe and responsible.
