How can I make it safer?

Setting things up…

  • Teach children to create passwords that others can't easily guess, and that contain a combination of numbers and letters (both upper- and lower-case).

Important discussions to have…

  • Set the expectation that student's online activities will be monitored while at school, as the Internet is a public place.
  • Discuss with students the qualities of healthy and unhealthy friendships.
  • Teach students not to open any emails and/or email attachments if they don't know the sender.
  • Explain to students that if they come across something or someone that makes them feel uncomfortable, they can tell you without fear of losing computer privileges.
