Awareness of Student Safety Online
• Use the school’s student numbers to sign up for various websites. This avoids the inevitable loss of account details and promotes safety online without listing a “real name”.
• Encourage students to use a variation of the password they use to log onto the school network ex:@Dev234@
• Always use the students school email account as a reset link.
Comment/Discuss in an Online Community like Scratch in Safety
Students can comment on each other’s games online.
• Others in the online community can make comments on students’ work
• It is very clear that they aren’t from our school community, no adherence to VISS’ naming conventions.
Classroom management of the ICT labs
• LanSchool - monitoring, assisting, collaborating and communicating software

on a common table by the teacher’s desk, and collect mobile phones.
