The importance of cyber safety
Cyber safety is a way of
protecting our self, own documents, private information while using
internet-online. An article written by Youth Central, points out the importance
of cyber safety and ways and procedures for protecting your self from being
risky online. Some ways for keeping your self save are protecting private
information (mobile number, email address, information in online profile) by
not giving them to untrusted people, keeping own password by not giving it
anybody, being careful while sharing photos, being conscious when chatting
strangers, not interrupting your self in dangerous online arguments. Moreover,
the article mentions procedures you can do if you feel you are trapped in risk
which are; lets someone know, then change your password, block or report if you have been bullied by someone, finally save the evidence (conversations,images,etc).
Actually the importance of
cyber safety was not one of my interest to know about, and I did not pay attention to its
importance. In technology course I have known that there are some messages may
occur for a person who is online which may have viruses or the respond for them
can make your information and documents in risk. I think I need to know more
about and the information I have been given are not enough, therefore I have
searched for more information and this is what I found.- Read more;
- Watch;
Nowadays, because of the wide
use of internet our (children and students) are also in risk since them use
mobile devises, laptops, and iPods for different purposes. Thereby, we as
teachers and parents should awaken them by instructing, noticing, raising
awareness; and if it requires, putting a limitations in their accessing the
internet. I think teachers should be more aware of cyber safety to be able to
teach their student how they can keep themselves save online. Also, we need to
see some movements about this issue in media.
