The most important step that we can take to ensure our digital safety is being VIGILANT!!! Being on alert and watchful is the highest degree of security that we as DLC members can do to protect ourselves from scammers, cyberbullies, cybercriminals, interlopers, etc... We can be keenly aware and pay close attention in watching for suspicious activity. It is our duty to be observant and attentive to all that is going on around us at all time.
- What strategies can we take to help our students consistently keep digital safety in the forefront of their minds?
Some strategies that we can implement to keep safety in the minds of our students and children are...
1. Talk to our children and students on a daily basis. Give them real examples of what can happen- make it applicable and authentic.
2. Educating our students- make this apart of the daily curriculum- tips of the day, morning tv, newsletters, etc...
3. Internet Contract for students is a necessity for schools to implement. Need to inspect what you expect- so must enforce and monitor.
4. Realistic Expectations- adults need to be realistic and understand students will be online and will be participating in discussion boards and social media- we need to educate so they do it appropriately.
5. Teach Netiquette skills on a daily basis to ensure safety.
