It is Digital Citizen Week

This week we are focusing on what it means to be a digital citizen, being cybersafe, how to email and comment on bolgs. We have been watching Hector's World which is a fantastic resource for helping us to understand why we should not give out our personal details on the world wide web and what to do if we see inappropriate things on the internet.
