Professional Development

INESS programs are unique, our message is powerful and thought provoking. We simplify what’s needed for our youth to protect themselves online as it surrounds the very complex issues of Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying.

These programs don’t only assist the professional teacher in dealing with and protecting students in the digital world, it also deals with issues directly affecting you as a professional. All these messages are passed on effectively by generating credibility with our audience. This credibility is created as a result of thousands of hours using the websites and communication programs that are used by young people and teachers on the internet and mobile phones. Whether the issue is the teacher as a victim of cyberbullying, communicating with students outside the school environment or placing personal information on the internet the INESS program will target and address these issues. The professional development sessions are interesting, topical and more importantly, tailored to individual requirements. No matter what level of cyber knowledge our audience members possess, all take away a message of heightened understanding and awareness.
