Internet Safety

Last week we reviewed internet safety and what it means to be safe while using all of the fun tools the internet offers. As part of this, we watched "Router's Birthday Surprise" from the NetSmartz website. This video teaches students four simple rules for being safe online:

1. Tell a trusted adult if anything makes you feel sad, scared or confused
2. Ask a trusted adult before sharing personal information like your name, address or phone number
3. Don't meet face to face with anyone from the internet
4. Always use good 'netiquette' and don't be rude or mean online

Each student signed a pledge to follow these rules that they brought home with them on Friday. The NetSmartz website offers many internet safety activities or videos that can be accessed at this link:
