October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

This year’s campaign, “Cyber Security. Make it a Habit,” is the National Cyber Security Alliance’s (NCSA) third annual, nationwide effort to educate Internet users of all ages about safe and secure online practices.

NCSA has provided a Cyber Security Month Toolkit for educators available at http://www.staysafeonline.org/events/ncsam06educators.html. The toolkit includes guidelines, lesson plans and safety tips. Educators can also request DVD’s for classroom instruction.
