CYBER SAFE TALKS
This week we had a visit from Nola Marino who came to present a number of talks about Cyber Safety to both students and parents at Cooinda.
The talk covered a broad range of information and gave everyone some really good ideas to ensure we were cyber safe. I was particularly interested in the section on our digital footprint.
“Everything you post adds up to make your digital footprint.”
To keep our footprints small, the following ideas were shared;
-
keep your personal details private
-
don’t share your username or password with anyone
-
think before you hit send or post
-
don’t post anything you don’t want others to know about you
-
remember that private images and videos may be passed onto others
-
be respectful of other people’s content that you post or share
The key message was – You need to be
Smart
Safe
Responsible
What did you take from the talk?
I liked how she told story’s about people that have had that happened to them.
Ms Marino explained everything very clearly and I knew what she was talking about.
Did you know that people can look at your device through your bluetooth and can track you through your location services.
I really liked the talk about Cyber-Safety and there some things that I never knew when on with social sites such as people accessing your phones like a GPS when you send pictures.
The information was really good that we got from her like your digital footprint and that kind of stuff.
This talk was very informational. I am surprised at how easy it is for people to find out your private information without even realising it.
I learned a lot from the cyber safe talk that Ms Marino gave the two classes. People can track you through your device on location services.Also if you send a photo onto instagram or something like that with location services on, all your information is linked to the photo.
