Participate 3 – Digital Safety and Security

 

  1. What is the most important step we can take in terms of ensuring our digital safety?
    Education and awareness of the issues that can be a problem when students are online. Developing this awareness will prevent scammers and hackers from getting access to your information and computer. The site Consumer FTC Gov Site has some great tips for staying aware of the problems that can occur from being online.
  2. What strategies can we take to help our students consistently keep digital safety in the forefront of their minds?
    Open discussions regarding digital safety are important. Having an open dialogue about the issue is really important than when students do have a problem they know what to do. Having these discussions on a regular basis and encouraging parents to discuss digital safety is key to having students feel like they have options and solutions to the problem. I would want to post an image of the poster below to have students remember some tips on digital safety.

Here is a link to view my Google Slides presentation I created based on this topic.
