A big thank you to Darren Laur who visited Belmont Senior Secondary last night to educate parents on Internet safety and what it means to be a good digital citizen. Thank you to all the parents who showed up, we had roughly 50 parents in attendance. The topics covered included: social networks, social network safety, violence prevention, and the illusion of privacy.
Tips for Internet Safety:
Change your user name and passwords every six months
Lock down your Wi-Fi at home and make it password protected
Educate yourself on social media
Think before you post
Key Message:
If you post it, it is public, permanent, and searchable.
Here are two websites to might find useful in your social media education. www.grovo.com and www.noslang.com
