**Parents-Quick Cyber-Safety Tips**
-
Make sure your child does not spend all of his/her time on the computer. People, not computers, should be their best friends and companions.
-
Teach them never to meet an online friend offline unless you are with them.
-
Teach them what information they can share with others online and what they can't (like telephone numbers, address, their full name and school).
Digital Immigrants vs. Digital Natives
-
A digital immigrant is an individual who grew up "without" digital technology and adopted it later.
-
A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has "grown up with" digital technology.
