• Could this hurt others?
• Would I share this with my parents?
• Could this endanger opportunities for my future?

Remember the Internet is permanent, vast and always listening. Anyone of your selfies could show up at your first job interview.

Tip: Carefully select the pictures you share. A simple photo can ruin your reputation.

• Before you hit “post,” ask yourself if you’d share that information with a stranger—this rule of thumb will help you filter out private details like your last name, contact information, school, age or date of birth.
• Treat any pictures like an investigator or crime scene specialist, paying attention to the background, too: What personal details can you piece together about you and your friends in the image?
• Some sites require you to fill out an extensive profile. It may seem harmless, but all that personal data can fall into the wrong hands or even get sold to scammers.
• Be thoughtful when sites and apps you want to use ask for your full name, birth date, address, phone number or other private information. Think about whether you really want them to have that information and find out what they are going to do with it (and who else they are going to share it with) before you hand those details over.
• Many sites allow you to limit who can see your profile, either by changing settings or requiring a password to access your content—a vital step you should take with every account. Keep in mind, too, that social media groups you join (e.g. one for your high school) may be public.
• When in doubt, ask yourself if you’d feel comfortable posting your information in a public forum—because that’s essentially what the Internet is.

Tip: Keep your password secret, even from friends.

• Real companies (like banks, online retailers and credit card companies) won’t ask for those details over email, so don’t respond—even if the email’s images and language sound official or it includes threatening messages (like “Your account will be closed!”).
• Don't conduct financial activities on public computers. Criminals install keystroke recognition software on public computers to spy on what you type. Hackers can also log into your accounts after you’ve left the computer unless you take steps to block them. If you do go online on a public computer, like at school or the library, make sure to disable the automatic log-in feature (it’s usually a box beneath the field for your password) and log out before you leave the computer. It’s not enough to close the browser.
• Once criminals have your username—something that is often easy to find—they try to break into your account by trying the most common passwords.
• Create strong passwords—ones at least eight characters long that include letters, numbers and special symbols—that don’t include personal information. (Names, birthdays, addresses and simple sequences like 12345 are some of the most typical passwords and so will be the ones fraudsters try first.) Then change your passwords regularly and create different ones for each site so all your accounts aren’t compromised if they break through your defenses.
• Some web sites don’t use encryption software—a security measure that scrambles data as it crosses the Internet— making them vulnerable to hackers. Fraudsters may also set up a web page that looks identical to your banks or an online retailer so you’ll enter your log-in information. Make sure the web address begins with "https" (the "s" stands for “secure”) and has an icon of a closed padlock—these signs mean the site is safe. Also, be wary of links sent to you, even from a friend. Fraudsters may break into your friends’ email or social media accounts to get you to click on sites that will download malware—software that can record your sensitive information.

Tip: Make sure the URL begins with https (the 's' stands for secure) before buying anything online; otherwise, hackers can steal your credit card details.

雖然政府希望四月復活節後能夠復課，可是口罩供應一日未穩定，跨區學童過境和檢疫問題未有完善處理方法，盲目要求中小學生復課，很大機會讓新型冠狀病毒肺炎在社區廣泛爆發。

學生未能正常上課，除了影響他們的學習進度外，過長的假期加上學生太多時間關在家中而沒有適當消耗精力的活動，反而會影響其生活節奏和學習的習慣。有不少家長在這段期間，不自覺地放縱了子女打機上網；這樣雖然能安撫他們一時的燥動，可是日後要撥亂反正，令孩子重投正常學習生活就有一定困難。

部份較有資源的家長，還會為子女安排密集的學習和活動事項，讓他們有機會盡放精力，又可以保持學習的進度。只是家長為子女安排得太妥貼和緊湊，也會握殺了他們鍛煉自主學習，發展自己最有天賦和感興趣的活動和能力。

一直以來，很多家長都將教育的責任放到學校去。其實真正有效的教育，家長責無旁貸。近月有大量家長投訴跟孩子長時間關在家中有如「困獸鬥」一樣，其實換個角度看，這次也是一個讓家長啟發子女持續學習，主動學習和全家學習的機會。父母能花心思和時間聆聽孩子的需要，一家人培養共同有意義的學習和閒餘活動，減少玩電話和平板電腦，多給子女作主，慢慢地他們就能擁有自主學習和終身學習的能力，屆時家長就不用擔心他們跟不上功課了。
