Safety

Internet Safety.
Cyber safety is something we all need to be aware of and we need to educate our students/children. The safety blurb below should be shared with students and discussed at home.
 * __SAFETY__**

Here are some rules for us to follow:
 * **Only** ever use your first name when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis;
 * ** Never **use any other student’s last name;
 * ** Never **post any personal information – such as your home phone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki;
 * ** Never **share any of you usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student;
 * ** Always **tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable;
 * ** Remember **the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies;
 * ** Be **a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else's feelings;
 * ** Always **check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you;
 * ** Never **make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet without telling your parents;
 * ** Make **sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own;

__When viewing videos clips on this wiki.__ __PLEASE NOTE:__ Please click on the triangle play button at the bottom of the video to watch the video. You can click on the play button in the middle ONCE. Please do not click more than once as this will take you to the You Tube website. Please do not click on the You Tube link in the bottom right hand corner. Remember to only click on the items that you know you are allowed to. Try not to keep on clicking on different things. If you see something on the internet that you do not like, click on the red cross in the top corner as quickly as you can and remember to tell mum or dad about it. There will be things on the internet that we do not want to see, but we need to think about how we can keep ourselves safe whilst using the internet. As discussed in class we need to think about what we can do when we see or notice soemthing that we do not like. There are lots of extremely useful You Tube clips to watch, but make sure that mum or dad are with you. Some clips are not for children to watch.
