How to Stay Safe Online - flexible schedule class

Social media, including Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, and all the others are enticing to young people because they can interact with people all over the world. They are young and inexperienced enough to trust strangers on the internet that seem to be nice. The problem is that it is extremely easy for predators to make fake social media profiles. 

I am recommending that parents view the information that I present with their kids and then discuss them in detail, so you can make a pact with them to be safe online. 

The homework will consist of watching entertaining videos and reading actual stories that describe possible scary scenarios. None of them are gory, but make the point quite clear that social media is not a place to trust strangers, rely on for making choices, watch everything, or share everything with. 

Week One:  Predators Targeting Children and Teens on Social Media
Week Two: Cyberbullying
Week Three:  Inappropriate and Harmful Content
Week Four: Sharing Images and Photos That Kids Will Regret

These lessons could save your child's life! 

I will be writing to your child often using the Outschool chat room about the scenarios in the videos and articles so we can discuss the top safety tips that they are learning. Each week, I will ask that your child respond to me about the safety tips presented, so I can assess his or her understanding and clarify, if needed. 


Flexible schedule classes are great for busy people - like you!
