Today we started using the school laptops in our room. We’ve been using the class Macs over the last few weeks but have now added the laptops to our learning.
Before we started using the computers and working online we needed to talk about ways to work safely on the Internet (online).
We need to encourage safe and more responsible use of online technology, particularly amongst children.
We also reviewed our blogging guidelines that are a part of our class blog. The teachers we work with – especially Miss Sporn, always ensure we are working safely online. Having a class blog is a terrific way to learn about appropriate online behaviour and “netiquette.”
We watched a fun video called “The Infinite Learning Lab.” It gave us lots of tips to remember when we are using the internet for school work or for fun. Check the video out here:
As a part of our online safety learning we made posters about being safe online. Some of the important internet safety messages we came up with are:
- Be safe online and you’ll be fine
- Keep your personal info safe
- Be friendly online
- Don’t give away your YAPPY!
- Keep your passwords secret
Here are our posters – please come into the classroom to read them – we’ve displayed them around the classroom as reminders of how to work safely online!

What do you think of our posters?
Do you know what YAPPY means?
What are the ways that you work safely online?
We really loved all your posters on using the internet safely. Yes NOW i do know what YAPPY stands for. I didn’t before I looked at your blog so a BIG thankyou for educating me and my family too. Never put your personal information on the internet. A Great Lesson to remember, everyone. Keep up the wonderful Work you do.

Hi Deb and Family,
Wow!!! You guys were really quick to check out the latest post.
We thought the cyber safety message was a really important message for everyone to understand!
Come into our room and see the posters – we’re also going to try to make them into an iMovie – just a different way to present our work!
Keep in touch
