You have found a revolutionary concept that will change the way everyone learns. The i-LEARN Online program is designed with you in mind. We know you are busy and need a system of learning where you can stop, pause, and rewind at your own convenience. We understand that you will want to focus on certain subjects first, and others down the road. That is why i-SAFE partnered with Microsoft to create an 'On Demand' system for Internet safety education. All through the click of a mouse you now have the ability to empower yourself, and your family, on the true meaning of "Internet Safety".
Which module do I watch?
There are five options with five different users in mind. Those registered as educators with i-SAFE have the greatest access to view the modules because you work closely with students and parents. Those registered as parents and fifty+ have access to either of those modules since many users fit both categories. However, students are limited to the i-MENTOR Training Network. And the Operation i-SHIELD module is reserved for those in law enforcement. Below is a breakdown of each module.
