Barnett Bulldogs received a great lesson on Internet safety. The presenter, Cole, spoke to students about many important things reguarding technology and the internet. He spoke on keeping personal information private. Never share your information with someone you don’t know. He also spoke about the truths of what you post online, stays online.  Another important point Barnett student’s learned was that we need to make the Internet a happier place. Cyberbullying happens quite frequently, but we can spark a change in this and be good citizens online. Cole told us that kids should be at least 13 years old to have a social media account, and that you should always have conversation with parents about anything you’re doing online. It is important that we do this to keep ourselves safe.  Check in with your child, especially if they are on social media to make sure they are keeping themselves safe. The last thing Cole emphasized was about keeping balance. Technology is great and it can help us stay connected and does a lot of good things. However, take the time and have a conversation in person. Put the phone down. Balance is key.
