As parents of the 'internet generation" it is our responsibility to keep our children safe by educating ourselves and then teaching our children how to use the Internet and technol-ogy responsibly. Just as we teach them how to cross the street, tie their shoes and say 'please` and 'thank you', basic life lessons must also include teaching them the proper way to use computers, tablets, smartphones, games, etc. Just as you would ask your child where they are going if they were going out to play or to visit friends, you need to start the conversa-tion about internet safety by asking them where they are going and what they are do-ing ONLINE. Many of our students are learn-ing about internet safety in class. Check out Div. 6's internet safety tips online at http://blogs.sd41.bc.ca/digitcitizenship. They did a wonderful job of sharing ways to stay safe online.

Parents can also check out the parent tips sheets on this blog. Here are some general rules for internet safety: Educate yourself about the internet Even if you don't have a computer at

home, it's important to be knowledgeable about the Internet because children can have access at a friend's house or the public library Create a family agreement for internet use including hours of use, which sites can be ac-cessed and which ones shouldn't be Place your computer in a central, open location, like the living room, so Internet use can be supervised Look at the sites your child visits. Sit with

your child while they are online to see what they are doing and who they are communi-cating with. If you have any questions or concerns about internet safety, please contact your child's teacher or Ms. Yamamoto.
