CABLEVISION'S POWER TO LEARN AND MAYOR MICHAEL BRODERICK TEAM UP TO KEEP KIDS SAFE IN CYBERSPACE

Special Event At Elms Elementary School To Educate Parents, Students and Teachers About Safe Online Behavior June 16 at 10:30 a.m.

Jackson, NJ – June 15, 2005 – Cablevision Systems Corporation's Power to Learn, a multi-faceted initiative dedicated to integrating technology into education, will host an interactive, educational event with Mayor Michael Broderick on safe and responsible Internet use for children.  The event will take place at Elms Elementary School on June 16, at 10:30 a.m. 

"We all have to play a role in teaching children appropriate online behavior and safe Internet usage," said Mayor Michael Broderick.  "Jackson was one of the first municipalities in New Jersey to offer parents numerous links to safety information that will help parents keep their families out of harms way while online.  Cablevision's Internet Smarts program will give students, teachers, and parents the knowledge they need to safely navigate the Internet."

Power to Learn's Internet Smarts program provides a forum for teachers and parents to work with children on appropriate and safe Internet use.  Online, interactive case studies explore important topics in Internet use at school and at home, allowing students to examine issues affecting schoolwork, class papers, entertainment activities and online safety.  Additionally, students, classes and schools can become certified "Internet Smart." Family resource booklets titled, "Internet Smarts: Safeguarding your Children in Cyberspace," are also provided, offering important tips and suggestions to keep kids safe online.  Internet Smarts is a free resource offered to schools.  More information can be found at www.powertolearn.com.

"As Power to Learn continues to connect schools and libraries throughout New Jersey with cable broadband access, online behavior has become an increasingly important issue within the communities we serve," said Adam Falk, Cablevision's vice president of New Jersey public affairs.  "Internet Smarts is an excellent example of how Power to Learn enhances the broadband connectivity it provides by creating a practical, useful program to educate students, teachers and parents about important online issues, from copyright and fair use to addressing the dangers of disclosing private information online."

"As the ISP provider to more than 2,000 schools in Cablevision's service area, we know that the Internet is indispensable to education," said Trent Anderson, Cablevision's vice president of education.  "We designed Internet Smarts to provide students with guidance and guidelines to be safe, responsible and ethical Internet users, and we are extremely excited and proud to be a part of this event."
