SAFER INTERNET DAY 2020
Get set for Safer Internet Day 2020, taking place on Tuesday, 11 February 2020.
As we all know the internet can be a powerful tool for learning but it’s also a place where your child could encounter dangerous material or people. Learning to use the internet safely is like learning to cross the street. Your child needs time, practice and careful guidance from you and other trusted people, like teachers. www.raisingchildren.net.au (The Australian Parenting Website) suggest you can monitor and supervise your child’s use of the internet.
You as parents, can help your children use the internet safely by monitoring, protecting and teaching them, and by learning about the internet yourself, if you’re not familiar or comfortable with it.
There are many things you can do to educate and protect your children. Online learning is here to stay so by taking the time to be “Internet Safe” we can ensure our children remain safe while also benefitting as much as possible from all the good things the internet has to offer!
