Online Safety

Using your social media to connect with friends and family and online gaming is part of everyday life. But have you thought about:

• your digital footprint (try searching your own name)
• your online privacy settings
• how you feel each time you hear a new message arriving (or hear nothing)
• how you feel about the comments or images you post
• what happens when photos of you are shared without your agreement
• what you’re missing out on, or avoiding, while you spend time online

The world of technology use is not always easy to navigate.
