Cyber Safety

Today Constable Wong spoke to Room 16 and Room 17 about cyber safety. We are learning to be digital citizens and his messages were very helpful.

If something goes wrong it is so important you tell a parent or teacher. We will help you and we can learn from what happened.

Here is a short animated video I created using Go Animate. It is one of the sites on the Writing Symbaloo at the bottom of the blog.

Here are my notes:

Cyber Safety with Mr Wong

• Try to be safe and sensible
• Rules are to keep us safe
• You are meant to be at least 13 to be on Facebook
• Lots of things on the internet can be inappropriate
• Supervision of parents at home
• iPods, cellphones, netbooks... (we have a lot of digital tools to communicate in different ways)
• Hurt feelings (instead of being a laugh it becomes bullying)
• If you don’t know who they are, you can’t trust them
• Anything you put online, look at or send is always going to be there (even if you delete it, it can be found)
• People don’t give you free stuff, if you click on it you could get a virus or get ripped off
• If you get the wrong emails, you need to show your teacher
• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...
