About The Online Safety Roadshow:
The Google-led program is designed to educate parents and students what you can do to stay safe and secure on the web.
The program was created in tandem with principals and child safety groups, National Association of Secondary School Principals and iKeepSafe, to develop a digital literacy assembly. The goal of the 45 minute program is to teach students how to be smart about the content they share online, focusing on important skills -- how to create a safe, memorable password and more.
