Don’t Be YAPPY

This week our class watched a series of movies from the Infinte Learning Lab website. It taught us how to use computers and devices online in a safe way. These movies relate to our current unit of inquiry and also taught us really important lessons about being using the Internet safely. We’ve made posters that teach others not to be YAPPY online.

Always remember don’t give out:

Your name

Address

Passwords

Personal information

Your plans

It’s really important to be safe when you are using computers and you should never talk to strangers.

We also learned about Cyberbullying. It’s when people use the Internet to embarrass others, make fun of them, threaten them, are mean to them  or tease them. It’s not a smart way to use the Internet and you should never behave like that online (or in real life).

We learned ways to deal with online bullies – ignore them, report them, block them on programs you use too and talk to someone who can help you, like your parents or your teacher.

Here’s a great poster to remind you of ways to use the Internet safely.

Happy Surfing!

What messages did you learn from our movies? Can you tell us a handy hint on how to use the Internet safely?

  3. Hi Miss Sporn’s Class. Thank you for sharing the site about Internet safety. We watched a movie about good ways to listen. It gave us lots of important tips. We know we have to make eye contact when we are listening and to ask questions, be patient and remove distractions. Thank you for suggesting this great site.
    We can’t wait to see more of your ideas and learning.
