RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia's schools will soon offer a new digital education program that will encourage students to use technology and social media safely and responsibly.
Gov. Bob McDonnell and U.S. Sen. Mark Warner plan to announce the program on Thursday.
The program, "My Digital Life," is a joint effort by technology company Neustar and digital education platform provider EverFi. The curriculum is designed for students in grades eight through 10 and includes topics such as cyber bullying, good texting practices and online research.
