In the coming weeks of this term, Vermont will have the opportunity to participate in the Optus Digital Thumbprint workshops! These workshops are run by the wonderful Dom, who comes to Vermont every year for this very reason. The workshops that he runs talk through how to be safe online and ways we can help people through the cyber space. Keep a lookout for when your class is having the workshop!
