Digital safety is one of those issues we don't always think about, but it truly should be on our minds at all times. Most people have almost all of their important information somewhere online and keeping it secure is essential. The site
On Guard Online shares some excellent information about securing internet security, like putting passwords on your WiFi. One of the best tips I picked up from this site is to avoid using sites that require you to enter personal or financial information while using public Wifi. At times, we forget to think about the danger to our personal information if we are not on our own internet source.
At my face-to-face school we had a speaker out about digital safety and your digital footprint and I really think it was eye opening for some of the students that, what you send on snapchat does not actually disappear! Digital safety could be a part of the Orientation course we discussed for the AUP. This
site from MTV has some great information about digital safety and what not to post. I think it would be valuable for students to explore this site to get some ideas about how their actions affect others and themselves!
I made this poster to help remind students of digital safety measures:
