Cyberethics, Cybersafety and CyberSecurity (C3®) Awareness

We inform the educational community about  Cyberethical, Cybersafety and CyberSecurity implications of technology use and illustrate how students,  educators and parents can apply these concepts to their own setting.

C3 Research

Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach, leads the CyberWatch K12 Division efforts.

Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach, a research and development organization located in Maryland, connects educational technology policy and research to instructional practice. ETPRO brings more than two decades of experience in the educational community, and more than a decade of experience in evaluating both formal and informal educational programs at the K-16 level, and conducting educational technology policy analysis. ETPRO’s expertise is founded on a combination of classroom practice across K-16 tied with a solid research base.

ETPRO originated from the Educational Technology Outreach division of the College of Education, at the University of Maryland, and in 2007 was founded as an entrepreneurial entity committed to quality education for all learners, targeting the effective use of cutting edge technology in formal and informal educational settings to increase interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The fundamental gap between technology use and understanding of proper practices, lead ETPRO to the forefront of research, program evaluation and development of Cyberethics, Cybersafety, and CyberSecurity (C3®) initiatives.  Past and current research include:
