What is Wi-Fi? – Slide 23
It is the technology that allows a PC, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet device to connect at high speed to the internet without the need for a physical wired connection. When you connect to a hotspot, you are using Wi-Fi.
Accessing Wi-Fi Securely – Slide 24
To get on Wi-Fi you need the access point and just connect. You need to be careful if you don’t have to enter a password to access it. This means the Wi-Fi is open and people can see what you are typing or where you are surfing. If the Wi-Fi asks for a password, it means it will be harder for someone to snoop on what you are doing.
Risk of accessing a free or public Wi-Fi Don’t enable your phone as a hot spot
Bluetooth Safety – Slide 25
Blue tooth was originally designed for short distance communication and data transfer. It helped devices to communicate and share without having a cable in between. One has to be careful while allowing other devices to connect to your phone via Bluetooth as they could conceal cameras or microphones and that are capable of transmitting a signal, and therefore can transmit data without detection, compromise people's privacy.
An attacker can, once devices are paired, access and steal information off of your Bluetooth device. The connection is usually made without your knowledge, possibly resulting in stolen contact info, photos, videos, calendar events, and more. An attacker can also remotely control various aspects of your device. Outgoing calls and texts can be sent, incoming calls and texts forwarded, settings changed, and screens and keypresses can be watched, etc.
Tips:
• The best way to protect yourself is to keep a password and change it regularly.
• Make your blue tooth undiscoverable

Tip: Always turn OFF location sharing when not required for a specific action.

Cyberbullying is like real life bullying but using technology.
Forms of bullying:
Physical – any physical contact that hurts people
Verbal – name calling, jokes or offensive remarks about someone (appearance, gender, race, religion)
Indirect: excluding people from a group, alienating them or spreading lies, secrets or rumors about someone.
Forms of cyberbullying:
It is also cyberbullying when a student, or students, uses technology to run a multi-step campaign to bully another student. For example, setting another student up to be assaulted, recording their humiliation, posting the video-recording online and then sending the website address to others.
