Some Important Steps
to ensuring our
Digital Safety
Understand
Your
Digital Footprint
Teach students that every step we take on the internet is logged and recorded.
Teach students that searching, shopping, allowing location detection and posting on social media allows others access to details of our private lives and that such tracking can be used against you.
Here are strategies we can take to help our students consistently keep digital safety in the forefront of their minds.
Self-assess
Requiring students to take a self
assessment to determine what
they do know and understand
will be paramount in leading our
youth in the right direction toward
the safest possible vitural environment. Using such a tool,
students as well as educators will easily see weaknesses and strengths and a program based on the current needs of students can be implemented.
