This section is all about Cyber Safety.
Cyber Safety is the safe and responsible use of information and communication technology, such as computers, phones and iPads. It is about keeping information safe and secure and being respectful of other people online.
Remember: it is your responsibility to be Cyber Safe.

**Students will need computer access for this section**
Click on the linked button below to go to the Australian government's eSafety website. Play the two games at the bottom of the page to test your knowledge about cyber safety. The games are called:
1. How cybersmart are you?
2. Comic book capers
As a class you need to create a set of rules to follow when creating and using the blog. Because a blog is an online tool, the rules will help every student stay safe online and stop any cyber bullying. You may like to think about things like what information is safe to share, when is it appropriate to access the blog and how to talk to other people and friends on the blog.
Complete page 3 in your Technology Booklet. Then, as a class, create a list of 4-6 Cyber Safe Rules.
You can now finish page 4 in your Technology Booklet.
The final stage in this Cyber Safety learning journey is the contract to follow the rules. This is on page 5 of your Technology Booklet. Please read through the contract CAREFULLY and sign. You will need a witness to watch you sign and then to sign themselves. Remember** By signing this contract you are agreeing to abide by the Cyber Safe Rules of the classroom.
