Technology Tip Number 148
Kids and Drug Use Prevention

Little kindergarteners turn into 1st graders and eventually elementary kids turn into middle schoolers and then those young teens turn into high schoolers who we hope graduate into adulthood successfully. Just one rite of passage after the other right?

Unfortunately there are other, less socially accepted rights of passage for teenagers that involve the use and abuse of illegal drugs. Students are learning to use technology like the internet to assist them in abusing drugs. In today’s technology tip we’d like to share with you some websites that can help educators and other adults become better educated on issues involving illegal drug use.

Identifying illegal drugs: http://www.stopdrugs.org/identification.html (California Attorney General’s Office)
Information for Teachers & Parents: http://www.nida.nih.gov/parent-teacher.html (National Institute on Drug Abuse)
Drugs of Abuse Information: http://www.nida.nih.gov/drugpages.html (National Institute on Drug Abuse)

Examples of drug use prevention programs: http://www.drugabuse.gov/Prevention/examples.html (National Institute on Drug Abuse)

PRACTICE ACTIVITY: Educate yourself on the dangers of drugs sometime today. Just choose a couple of the links above and see what you can learn. Ignorance should not be an excuse for inaction.
