Internet Safety Sharing

Doing:

For the internet safety awareness project I talked with my mom, who is in her late 40’s. It was beneficial to talk with her because my brother is in third grade, and is always on the computer. Even though he is not quite into chatting online and using technology all the time now, it soon will. I told my mom about the scariness of sharing passwords and what it can possibly lead to. I shared a few stories from the frontline PBS documentary about cyber-bulling and how it begins. I reminded her how important it is to make sure you talk with your children even when going through hard times. I also told her about chat-rooms and how online predators can find out information about them, even if they don’t share it. It was a positive, easy conversation as she was interested in hearing what sources and information I had learned.
