Internet Safety

A focus of ours for the last week has been internet safety. Some of the topics that all classes have been focusing on are:

- What kind of information is safe to share.

- What is a Privacy Policy? We actually looked at the Webkinz privacy policy for an example.

- If someone is saying mean things to you on the computer, what should you do?

- Spam, cookies, and junk mail.

Here are the sites that the classes have visited:

Grades 2 -3 : www.pbskids.org/license/ ~ Web License

Grade 4: www.media-awareness.ca ~ Virtual Pigsty

Grades 6 - 8: http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/games/jocool_jofool/kids.cfm ~ Jo Cool or Jo Fool

Ask your kids about what they have learned and how to be safe online!
