Internet Safety Specialist pays a visit and presents a lesson to Infant Jesus of Prague School students

350, 400 and 261 were not answers to mathematical equations in pre-algebra class. The figures represented the number of digital friends various Jr. High students at Infant Jesus of Prague School claimed. Sarah Migas, Internet Safety Specialist of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, High Tech Crimes Bureau gave a special presentation on digital citizenship and safety on Monday, November 26, 2012. She said, “Part of digital citizenship is knowing who we’re trusting in providing our personal information and images.”

Migas presented videos, information and fielded questions from the students of IJP School. She let them know that there is a big difference between meeting, “friending,” and really knowing others. IJP counselor, Ms. Felicia Russell organized the presentation with Migas. A majority of students claimed that they owned cell phones. Over half of the students claimed that they owned a personal computer.
