Submitted by doug.lai on

Students learned how to be safe on the internet. Never give out personal information, don’t meet anyone in person that you met on the internet. Tell a parent if something makes you uncomfortable. Don’t open emails from people you do not know. Don’t be a cyber bully and don’t use the computer all day.
