Internet Safety
When using a public Wi-Fi network or a shared device, it is important to use the Internet safely as you are not protected from others connected to the same network. It is very easy for someone to steal your username, password, personal information and for them to see what you are doing when you are on a public network.
It is also important that you remember to logout of any email, social media, or any other accounts that you logged into while on a public computer.
