Netsafe - Keeping Safe on the Internet

Hi everyone, I thought I would put on the blog the websites and information that was in the newsletter on the 3rd of September. These sites are very informative and the tips about reading the terms and conditions is extremely helpful. Hope this is useful. Miss J.

Two useful websites to help us are http://www.netsafe.org.nz/ and
http://www.thecybersafetylady.com.au/ and below is some useful tips:-
1) How to keep your kids safe on Minecraft:

2) If your child wants to register for an online game, check the Terms & Conditions for the age
 limitation first. When you are reading the Terms & Conditions you can do a search using
 Ctrl F on a Windows laptop or Command F on a MAC laptop to find ‘age’ or ‘limitations’.
3) Talk to your child about what makes a good digital citizen. The same core values apply
 online. So for example “respect each other”, add the word “online”.
4) Videos/Quizzes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IYZVYIVLA This is a video which
 goes through what a person's dossier looks like throughout the entire life starting in the
 womb! Digital footprint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DinW62zlWcc. We like to
 talk about our digital footprint as our ‘digital tattoo’.
 This is a great “How Cyber Smart Are You?” quiz
