Cyber safety

So much is done on the internet these days and it is just going to keep increasing. It has so many advantages and uses in life, however, it can be a dangerous thing and we need to learn to be safe and wise in how we use it. We have started to look at being safe with digital technology (Phones, computers, iPads, etc). This is especially important as the students head to high school and reach the age where they may possibly get a Facebook account.

We have started looking at protecting your personal information. Thinking carefully about posting details such as your location, name, contact details, age, etc on the internet. We looked at a mock 'Friendbook' page and identified all the good strategies and as well as the careless information on it. There was some really good discussions we had guys and I hope you take the safety tips on board.

We will continue to look at it throughout the year, especially in relation to our use of it at school in research and our blogs. There is a little bit of information and some videos that relate to this topic in the Cyber Safety tab at the top of the blog.
