The Five Ws of
Internet Safety
in
Chesapeake Public Schools

 

Who
Every member of our community—parents/guardians, grandparents, caregivers, students, teachers, counselors, technology integration specialists, library media specialists, and school administrators—should promote Internet safety.


What
Effective Internet use includes safety, security, and ethics.


When
Anytime students are on the Internet, they should follow the Acceptable Use Policy for Chesapeake Public Schools.


Where
Students use the Internet not only at school, but also at home or other locations.


Why
The Internet is a valuable instructional resource, but misuses can occur unless our students are taught specifically how to maximize the Internet’s potential while protecting themselves.
