Erin Berman and her web team from SJPL

Erin's team will talk about the process of transforming a broad, intimidating topic — like online privacy — into a learning opportunity that is personal, approachable, actionable, and reusable.

Their Virtual Privacy Lab has seven modules that cover a range of topics including an overview of online privacy to more complex topics such as data mining.

Erin's team will discuss the process and thinking behind this tool.

Dr. Gerald Friedland and Julia Bernd from ICSI's Teaching Privacy Project

The Teaching Privacy Project provides information about the various threats to online privacy and how Internet users can make better decisions about their online activity. The Teaching Privacy Project also provides educators with lesson plans and materials that they can use to bring privacy education to their classrooms.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
