Purpose:
To develop a series of Northern Virginia enterprise-sponsored webcasts
to address the issue of Internet Ethics for the benefit of students
in the Fairfax County Public School System. Based on the Mission
of FCPS…..
The
mission of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is to educate all
students to meet high academic standards and to prepare all students
for responsible citizenship in the 21st Century.
The
intent of this endeavor is to use the Internet itself to create
an interactive forum for discussion of important issues surrounding
Internet ethics that can be archived for continual review. The series
of webcasts would feature lectures, discussions, teachings and interviews
involving some of the pre-eminent experts in the field from Northern
Virginia, in addition to selected industry and government leaders
interested in creating awareness among students concerning the importance
of Cyber Ethics, especially in the environment we find ourselves
in since September 11. This initiative would insure that the web
site infrastructure, content management and multi-media configuration
would offer adequate flexibility from the beginning to continually
deploy the latest advances in community-based, live and archived
interactive streaming media applications to make this on-line "Cyber
Ethics Knowledge Archive" a truly unique and dynamic learning
experience.
TVWorldwide.com
announced that it was again collaborating with Booz Allen Hamilton
and Base Technologies, Inc to webcast the second in series of on-line
interactive discussion forums for Fairfax County Public School students,
dedicated to the issue of CyberEthics. This second pilot webcast,
intended for middle school students, is called "CyberEthics 101"
and is scheduled for today, June 7, 2002, 10:30 AM EDT, live from
TVWorldwide.com studios in Chantilly, Va. This event has again attracted
a panel of government and business leaders to guide the "town meeting"
style event in addressing subject matter areas that will form the
basis for a CyberEthics curriculum in future webcasts. Students,
teachers, parents and administrators will participate interactively
live and on-line through chat and e-mail during the 60-90 minute
forum.
Panelists for the "CyberEthics 101" pilot webcast include:
Dr. Daniel Domenech, Superintendent, Fairfax County Public Schools
Mr. Stu Weinstein, Booz Allen & Hamilton
Ms. Kathy Smith, Fairfax County School Board, Sully District
Mr. Gary Nakamoto, CEO, Base Technologies, Inc.
Mr. Ken Santucci, Amprod, Inc. Noted Tech Commentator
"We're excited about the prospect of offering this second pilot
webcast on the hot button issue of CyberEthics, especially after
the huge positive response we got to the first pilot webcast for
high school students in March, " stated Dave Gardy, CEO of TVWorldwide.com.
"Although this is intended as a forum for Fairfax County Students,
its availability on the web has attracted inquiries nationally and
we're again provisioning our servers for viewers from around the
country."
"We're pleased to have the support of Fairfax County's business
community in helping us to address the important issue of CyberEthics
with our students," commented Courtney Bulger, Co-Chair of the Fairfax
