FaceOurselves: Our Mission

 
   


The issues are real.

You might be a parent asking yourself, "What can I do about this?" or  "How can I protect my child from cyberbullying?"


Maybe you are a student worried about your upcoming college applications.  What will the university admissions officers think about your Facebook or MySpace page?


Perhaps you are an educator wondering where to begin teaching students about the realities and consequences of their online behavior.


Maybe you are an employer seeking to train staff on the proper use of social networking sites and expectations for conduct.


We established FaceOurselves.com to address these concerns-- to put the power in the hands of students and teachers and parents.

 It's time we do an about-face on social networking and cyberbullying.


At FaceOurselves.com, we can help students learn about proper conduct online.

Our unique curriculum is a must have for today's middle and high schools, colleges and universities and career preparation programs.

To keep students safe, we will focus on cyberbullying, protecting personal information and learning about what is appropriate for the world to see.



This year, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Broadband Data Improvement Act.  This Act, amongst many other provisions, will require schools to teach about cyberbullying, social networking and proper online behavior.  Let FaceOurselves.com be your go to source for research-based curriculum, lesson plans, and training workshops.



Who are we?  Parents, Educators.

To put it simply, people who care about our kids and their safety online. We know we can't always be there, watching over their shoulders, but we can teach them the expectations for their online behavior. We can teach them to monitor themselves and their friends. We can teach them to protect their identities. We can empower them to do the right thing every time.


The world is watching. It's time to Face Ourselves.
