Hi Class

In conjunction with the lessons on cyberwellness during PC lessons, the blog posting this week is from the Cyberwellnes Committee.
I would also like to remind all of you to use proper English in your messages and also not write unpleasant comments about your friends.
Blog Post for this week :
Dear Cyber Kids,
"Have you ever feel uncomfortable, weird, scared, confused or guilty about the content you see online? Here’s my story…Many years ago, when I was surfing the Internet for information on my project, I chanced upon a website with the following caption. - “LOSE WEIGHT FAST- 10 KILOGRAMS in 3 DAYS.” The website provided 10 easy steps for ladies like me to lose weight. Though I found it a little unbelievable, I was tempted to give it a try. Just when I was engrossed in reading and understanding how to go around losing weight in the fastest way, my mother came into my room. She saw the content on the website and asked, “You are not going to follow the steps, aren’t you? How can you go without food for so many days? Is that the right way to lose weight?” I came to realize that I might even cause harm to myself. I have learnt that in order to lose weight, it is important to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. What about you? - Have you ever seen anything online that made you afraid, uncomfortable or feel excited and yet guilty because you sensed that it was wrong? - How would you discern if the content on the Internet is inappropriate? - What should you do when the content on the Internet is inappropriate? I hope to read your responses soon.

Hope to read your response to the above soon.
