The Best Firewall is the Glove Box

The most important screen when you're driving is the windshield.

Online safety isn't just about protecting your data from hackers; it's about protecting your life from digital distractions. No text, notification, or playlist update is worth a split-second blind spot. Real digital literacy means knowing exactly when to disconnect. If an online interaction can't wait until you pull over, it can wait until you arrive.
This week's challenge: Practice physical cyber security. Put your phone in the glove box or activate "Do Not Disturb While Driving" before you even turn the key. Safe travels!

Online or Offline: A Stranger is a Stranger!

​You wouldn't jump into a stranger’s car on the street or take sweets from them at the shop. Treating people online should be exactly the same!
​Offline: If an unknown person approaches you, walk away and tell an adult.

​Online: If an unknown person messages you or requests a chat, block them and tell an adult.

​Just because they are behind a screen doesn't make them safe. Keep your distance, both on the road and on the phone!
