Staying safe online includes staying in control of who can see your personal information online, and who can not. Over time, the information you share becomes part of your digital reputation.

In order to ensure that all students and teachers in public schools can be provided with safe, secure and quality access to the internet, the NSW Department of Education expects all staff and students to understand and abide by the Student Use of Digital Devices and Online Services policy.

A healthy attitude to social media is not just for children, it is for all of us. You can model the positive online behaviours you want to see in your children.

Cyberbullying is a major concern for parents and teachers. The Department of Education's Anti-bullying site offers advice to parents and teachers on how identify and respond to cyberbullying to keep children and young people safe online.

Educators have an important role in promoting online media literacy.

Internet access is not equally distributed across Australia. It is important to avoid assuming that other people have the same level of digital access as you.

With people and organisations making so much information and material available online, it is important to know how and when to credit creators when making use of their work.

Social media channels are where you connect, chat and celebrate with your family and friends. Stay in control of your social media by choosing what things you share, and who gets to see them.

Modern devices make it very easy for children and young people to capture, create and share videos on a variety of topics.

Texting, chatting and online messaging can be used for much more than simply communicating with your friends. Online communication can help young people build and develop social skills and gives them a platform to share their skills and help each other out.
