  20. Advice for Teachers Don’t become friends online with students Be careful what you post online –comments, photos, links Consider how your conduct could affect your professional reputation and that of the school Make your profiles “private” Be approachable to students

  21. Set guidelines for computer use at home Monitor use –computer in public area Learn as much as you can Encourage kids to come to you for help Advice for Parents

  22. Get involved in your child’s online life (NetSafe recommends that children under 8 have an adult with them) Check in with them about online and offline friends Find out how they and their friends help each other deal with online problems

  23. Ask them to show you what they like doing online Try to keep calm if there are online issues (kids often stop talking to adults if they think parents will react badly or take away the technology) Find out about online risks (for example, learn how to stop cyberbullying/textbullying and harassment, spot online grooming, avoid malware) and discuss how your children are currently managing those risks.
