Safety online: think before you do something online


Surfing the web can be interesting but we risk a lot. Everybody should become aware of the great dangers and help the young to be safe while they are  online and not to risk. Most of us have a social life and post a lot on Twitter, FB and other  social networks.

This video released some years ago can be used in class to help the students learn about what they should or they should not share when they are online. Privacy and Data are at risk anytime  we use our devices.

Some weeks ago I had to change all my passwords for the main mails and  accounts that I had online as someone used my mail with an Italian account. I had changed the password in February but  they must have stolen my identity. I spent some days worried about what might happen and honestly I thought that if I did not spend so many hours online , they would not have entered my account and stolen my identity.

I found some interesting sources and links online which can help you when you want to be safe and need to take action:

For educators there are plenty of resources which are  worth sharing:
