What is Connect.ed?

Connect.ed is an innovative, self-paced cybersafety education program offered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) as part of Cybersmart. Access the Learner guide to read more. Connect.ed adds to the current Cybersmart Outreach suite of presentations, including the successful Professional Development for Educators workshop.

Why use Connect.ed?

Connect.ed provides teachers with the flexibility of a self paced environment to learn about current online behaviours of students, potential risks involved in these activities, a teacher’s and school’s duty of care and the appropriate tools, resources and strategies to help students to have safe and positive experiences online.

Who should use the program?

Connect.ed is designed for primary and secondary school teachers, casual relief teachers and support staff throughout Australia. Teachers who have attended a Cybersmart Outreach presentation can use this program to refresh, reinforce and build their cybersafety knowledge.
