5th Graders learn about Internet Safety

Internet Safety for students is a topic getting more and more attention, as younger children are utilizing Social Media apps and surfing the web.  This week the 5th graders were engaged in a discussion about Internet Safety, and viewed a video The Safe Side created by John Walsh.  Hot tips shared in the video include

• Always ask an adult before getting on the Internet
• Never give out your personal information online.
• If you see something that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't share it and do tell an adult.
• If someone says something hurtful about you online, do not respond.
• Never agree to meet someone in person that you meet online.
