USA Today (12/1, Toppo) reports, "Schools across the USA are adding coursework focused on privacy, cyberbullying and electronic plagiarism," seeking to teach "students to be better 'digital citizens.'" Besides "incorporating Internet safety into lesson plans," schools are "shifting their focus from the pervasive 'stranger danger' message typically given to young computer users" to the challenge of "teaching kids that what they say and do online can have immediate, profound consequences - and that an offhand cruelty or indiscretion can last forever."
