DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

·       The internet is like a big classroom.  The rules of the classroom apply to the internet.

·       If you’d be happy for your teacher or parent to read what you’ve written its probably OK.  What you put out there is for ever.

·       Remember there’s no body language so be careful how you communicate because people might not get the right idea – they might think humour is serious.

·       Use only your first name – don’t give your second name, address or phone numbers.

·       If you see something wrong close the screen and tell a trusted adult immediately.
