Internet Safety Reminder #2 - Log Out

Even though they are considered digital natives, our students need some guidance navigating cyberspace. Internet safety should be addressed frequently and authentically.  So next time your students are online, remind them that when using a computer that is shared with other people, they should always log out of any websites, email accounts or browsers they logged into.  If they don't, other people will be able to access or modify their personal information and could use their accounts in inappropriate ways.  Ultimately they are responsible for any activity on their account so log off!
