The DOE is creating a DVD about cybersafety to teach our children how to keep themselves safe on the internet.. Your input is needed! If you would, please complete this short survey to help guide these efforts.

The purpose of this survey is to gather information about the New York City Department of Education's Internet Safety Curriculum. Reel Works Teen Filmmaking, a nonprofit arts organization that serves over 150 teens each year, is producing an Internet Safety DVD for the Department of Education. The DVD will contain four short films about the following subjects: Online Gaming Safety, Sexual Predators, Cyber-Bullying, and Protecting Identity. Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Your input will help us produce videos that are effective and work with your existing curriculum.
