1.Be a responsible(and role model) digital citizen
In a nutshell this means exercising proper behaviour with regards to using technology
2.Youtube is for learning
Ensure that you set up a profile and save educational, fun and interesting videos that stand out for you
3.Model a positive social media presence

4.Become a mindful and skilled online searcher
To ensure a safe online journey for you and your family
5.Be open to learning from your child
