In today’s fast-paced, digital world, staying safe online is of utmost importance. Although internet security is a year-round topic, Garland ISD shines a spotlight on it during Cybersafety Week. Students learn about online security and respect through enlightening activities, including the Cybersafety Poster Contest.
“We were blown away by the talent and creativity displayed by this year’s participants,” said Technology Applications Coordinator Jasna Aliefendic. “Three secondary entries were so good, we could not decide on a first place.”
This year’s tough competition produced four first-place winners—including a three-way tie—all of whom received a Sphero SPRK+. Four more students were named honorable mentions. Certificates and prizes were delivered in mid-October.
A list of the 2017 Cybersafety Poster Contest winners is below.
