Cyber Safety

With the increase in technology, students are exposed to the World Wide Web at a young age. In some ways this is a massive advantage. They are able to experience many things, including photos from around the world, and numerous education games, to help with every subject such as maths and English. There are also many disadvantages about this. These include the threat of predators, social media, inappropriate advertising and inappropriate websites all together. It is expected that children use the internet to complete assignments, at school and after school hours. This can include a protected school computer, in which inappropriate websites have been blocked, or a private computer in which students need education on how to be cyber safe. As cyber safety in itself is not explicitly taught, resources have been provided to assist in educating parents and students about the dangers of the internet.
