Lassen County Office of Education Supporting Students for the Future

We employ two programs to educate students, staff, parents and our community about internet safety.  The Lassen Online Safety Training (LOST) program in conjunction with the assistance of the FBI is designed to help teachers, parents and students develop good habits while surfing the internet.

 

All of our schools in Lassen County have a subscription to iSafe Gold.  This program offers a unique approach to internet safety training , with 281 lessons and easy to use videos, lesson plans, power point presentations, webcasts and teacher resource newsletters.

Never give out any of the following information online (other than to a banking type institution): Full Name, Address, City, Account Numbers, Mother's Maiden Name or Social Security Number. Legitimate institutions will never ask you for your password, so never give it out and if they insist they need it, ask them to reset it.

 

Below is a list of the best personal web monitoring/filtering solutions available. Installing this type of software on your computer will prevent access to the majority of websites that you don't want visited on your computer. Remember, there is no substitute for direct supervision and there is no solution that will block 100% of all bad websites, short of pulling the plug on the computer.
