6. Staying Safe

This is a theoretical unit covering the necessary basic knowledge to use computers safely, effectively and responsibly. You begin by looking at file management and security. The unit then moves on to e-safety (cyber-bullying, phishing etc.), and online profiles to give you a better understanding and awareness of using social media. The functionality and operation of email and search engines and how to use them effectively are covered, and a final lesson includes a multiple choice test on the contents of the unit and basic computer use.
