Hey there! Ready to explore how we can be safe, respectful, and awesome creators online?
Every time you log onto a school computer or go online, you enter a digital world. Just like in real life, we need to show responsible behavior online to keep ourselves and others safe.

Your school has a special set of rules called an Acceptable Use Policy, or AUP. This policy is like a map that tells you which digital resources you can use and how to care for your devices.
We must practice digital citizenship daily. This means protecting our private data, respecting other people's work, and speaking up if we see cyberbullying.
Imagine you are at school and want to download a cool new coding game on your school tablet. Let's analyze this situation step-by-step to see how to make a responsible choice.
- Check the Rules: Read your school's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to see if downloading outside apps is allowed.
- Identify the Risk: Downloading unapproved files can bring harmful viruses to the school network.
- Ask for Permission: Speak with your teacher or tech specialist before installing any new software.
- Make the Decision: Since the AUP says only teachers can approve downloads, leave the game uninstalled and stay safe!
