What is the definition of spam, cyber-bullying and virus?

This week we discussed everyone's thoughts and responses when asked about 4 potentially dangerous online situations.

We came up with this checklist to keep ourselves safe.
1. Check email attachments are safe to open (confirm the sender or use an anti-virus software)
2. Delete any spam messages (i.e. unwanted adverts or 'prizes' you have won)
3. Never agree to meet up with strangers online (they may not be who they say they are!)
4. Always report incidents of cyber-bullying immediately

This afternoon, we have been learning about E-saftey, websites that use this can be Facebook Instagram snapchat and even Twitter. For example if someone says on Instagram do you want to meet up and you don't know them tell a responsible adult but DONT delete it you can show this as proof to report them!

Digital footprint

Today, in class Earth, we have been thinking about our 'Digital Footprint'. We have discovered that the things we put online can be seen by lots of people and might stay there online forever. They are like digital footprints - a trail that people can follow, picking up pieced of information about us. We all leave digital footprints and with every new profile, photo or comment we add new ones. People that you know, and people that you don't can learn a lot from them.

This video from Horrible Histories explains the consequences of not thinking about our Digital Footprint.

And saw real-life examples of how our Digital Footprint can be used against us.

E-safety by Ali and Olivia

Today we were learning about e safety and wacht a video on Ceop. The video was about a girl who spread her imformation to the streets and a man found out how to get to her house. The man lied about being 13 and the girl lets the man steel her profle pics.

Eventually  , she pressed the report button and turned on the private setting. 

We are making posters about how to stay safe on the internet  and came up with a good website for reporting called CEOP . Class Earth and Neptune
