It's Safer Internet Day, So Come Get Your eSafety Health Check

The Internet is a wondrous place, full of amazing GIFs, hilarious cat videos and Carpool Karaoke clips as far as the eye can see.

See, Paul Rudd agrees:

The Internet is also where the Student Edge website lives, so you know it’s good.

But occasionally the Internet offers up some unpleasantness – be it on social media or otherwise - and the dark side of our global connectivity becomes apparent.

Today being Safer Internet Day, we thought we’d share some advice to help you conduct an eSafety health check. Follow the advice of the Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner below and it’ll help make the Internet a much friendlier place for all involved.

Remember, you can also come to Student Edge for your Cyber Safety questions. Find out how to avoid online scams, learn what ‘the cloud’ really is, as well as why we have ‘trigger warnings’, and join us as we ponder the ramifications of ‘over-sharing’ on social media.

Be good to one another out there.
