Safe Surfing on the Net
CYBERSAFETY All students at CHMS participate in Cybersafety lessons. The Internet provides immediate access to a wealth of information and the ability to communicate with friends and family all over the world. With over 17 million students on the Internet, ages 11 to 14, it is important to help them recognize the types of dangers that they may be susceptible to during this experience. Potential risks children can be exposed to include inappropriate material, sexual solicitation, cyber bullying, or theft of personal information. Students need to be made aware of these unfortunate possibilities and discuss the appropriate steps when handling such a situation. Some sites of useful content for Cybersafety: |
