With all of the advances that we have in technology these days, you would think all of our personal information would be safer than ever because you have so many ways to monitor them. But, in fact, it is quite the opposite. With so many advanced in technology and everything continuing to grow and develop, we are at a greater risk all of the time for being taken advantage of. As an adult, it is hard enough to keep up with everything I do online and keep all of my information safe and private.

Most students are not aware of what this is or how this is true. The attached video is a nice 2 minute explanation that students would really get a lot from.
In addition to making our students aware of the importance of digital safety and security, we also need to do what we can to help parents be aware of these things as well.
