What a great way to begin a new year with a new group of students!
Around the world, 5th February 2013 has been designated Safer Internet Day. This is the 10th anniversary of this event which began in the UK by the company Insafe.

As a teacher, what do you think are the most important aspects of online safety we need to teach the students?
Hi Miss W,
Obviously, never ever give out any personal information! No names or where you live or what school you go to. Students are used to writing everything on social media without thinking about the consequences.
Mrs Cruse
It is important that students understand the importance of cyber safety when blogging.
