The US Senate passed legislation that is now headed for the Presidents signature. The measure will assist educators and parents in giving their children the information they need to have a safe online experience. The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act:
* requires schools receiving E-Rate funds to offer education regarding online behavior, including social networking, chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response;
* creates an inter agency working group to identify and encourage technologies and initiatives to help parents protect their children from unwanted content; and
* requires a national public awareness campaign to be conducted by the Federal Trade Commission.
