What is online safety education?
Online safety education develops age-appropriate decisions about personal data, communication and digital risks.
Key concepts and practice
Use concrete examples for passwords, multifactor authentication, suspicious links and privacy settings. Teach how to seek a trusted adult and report bullying or inappropriate contact. Fear alone does not build skills.
Examples, evaluation and limits
Because platforms change, teach questions rather than a fixed list of bans: who sees this, what remains stored and how can help be found? Practice should protect children’s privacy. Consistent school-family communication matters.
