Following from the presentation delivered to Junior School earlier this term, here are some tips to keep our students cyber safe
Helpful Cyber Safety Tips & Tricks:
- Think about your privacy – avoid sharing personal information online that could be misused by someone in real life. Check your privacy settings, don’t share your password and make sure your account is secure.
- Think before you upload and share photos or videos – post photos or videos that show you and your friends in a positive way. Once it’s uploaded, it’s no longer private and could be viewed by friends, family, teachers and strangers.
- Think carefully about sharing links to other sites – the content could be embarrassing, upsetting or hurtful to others.
- Be careful of requests – only accept ‘friend’ requests from people you know in real life. This reduces the chance of getting into an unsafe situation.
- Block anyone you’ve had contact with that was negative or unsafe – this stops them from having contact with you and from seeing your profile.
- Be mindful of what you write to others – you never know who will read these comments and how they might interpret them.
- Block anyone you’ve had contact with that was negative or unsafe – this stops them from having contact with you and from seeing your profile.
