🎃October Tech-Tip🎃

Digital Citizenship – 👻Be a Tech Hero, Not a Tech Monster!👻

Tip:

Remind your child that being kind online matters. Just like they’d never yell ‘boo!’ in someone’s face to hurt them, they shouldn’t post mean or hurtful things online. Encourage them to be a Tech Hero by using their words to help and encourage others.
