Internet Safety Week

We recently celebrated Internet Safety Week. As a school, every class began their Digital Safety Modules which we will continue into the month of March. We looked at all the positive sides of the Internet from being able to skype friends and relations, to shopping, to helping research for projects. We also looked at the importance of being safe while on the internet, not giving anyone your passwords and not talking to strangers or giving information out. We also stressed the importance of being “nice” to each other. As a school we recently purchased new chromebooks. Children from our Senior classes gave chromebook demonstrations to our younger classes and we are looking forward to using these in our classes. We held a poster art competition on the topic of “Internet Safety”. There was fantastic work created from Junior Infants all the way to 6^th class. Our teachers had a very tough job to pick class winners. The overall school winner was Hollie Doyle from Mrs. Moran’s 6^th Class.
