“When it comes to appropriate online behavior, the vast majority of students want to do the right thing and this contest will allow them to use their creativity to be a positive influence on others,” said Justin Reilly, CEO of Impero Software. “We launched this contest to raise awareness of the issue of internet trolls and promote good digital citizenship by starting conversations about this issue and what to do to stop it. We look forward to seeing what students create.”

The contest is just one example of how Impero supports digital citizenship and online safety. It also partners with advocacy organizations such as Mental Health America to develop libraries of key words that are incorporated into its student safety software. Schools using the software receive alerts if students type or search for those key words or phrases while using technology on the school’s network. Schools can also monitor students’ activity on those devices and use the data to inform conversations about digital citizenship or to address potentially concerning online behavior, including trolling.
