Budd:e_ducation

My eyes were opened a whole lot wider in class this week.  Internet security is something that, I must admit, has not been that high on my priority list, I guess I have paid it lip service and that is it.  I mean I do have a virus scanner on my computer and I do block my children from getting onto any of 'those' sites but I haven't really educated myself or them about what it is ok to do online and what is NOT.


Budd:e is my new best friend, this site has been set up by the Australian Government as a part of their e-security initiative and in their blurb about it say that this internet based program is part of an education package.  This is where it gets important, yes show your students these sites but not before you explain why you are letting them play.  Use budd:e as part of an education program about the internet and how to be safe while using and enjoying it.  


I will be delving further into this site in the very near future, I did check it out briefly and I have already learnt a lot.
