    along with having a proper Internet connection. When someone has good digital
                      access, they can learn, play, explore and connect with others online.

                      Some  children and families  have strong  digital  access  at  home  or school, while
                      others may not. This could be because they do not have a device, their Internet is

                      slow or they are still learning how to use certain tools.

                      Example:  Rohan and  Meera  both  have  to  complete  an  online  homework  task.
                      Rohan has a laptop and a good Internet connection at home, so he finishes it on
                      time. Meera only gets access to a shared phone for a short time in the evening, so

                      she finds it harder to complete the same task. This shows how digital access can
                      affect learning.

                      STAYING SAFE IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

                      The Internet is a huge part of our daily lives. It allows us to do many things such
                      as learning  new information,  chatting with  friends, watching videos  and playing

                      games. It connects people from all around the world and makes the impossible
                      seem possible. However, just like in the real world, there are things to be cautious
                      about in the online world. It's important to stay safe while enjoying the many benefits

                      it offers.

                      The Importance of Staying Alert Online

                      When online, it's important to stay alert and aware of the risks. Just as one is careful

                      in the real world to stay safe, the same caution should be applied online.

                      Some key reasons for staying alert while using the Internet are:

                          Cyberbullying: Sometimes  people  can  say
                           hurtful things online. It's important to speak to

                           an adult if you experience this or see it happen
                           to someone else.

                                                                Strangers: The Internet can connect people all
                                                                 over the  world, but  not  everyone  is  who they

                                                                 say  they  are. Be  cautious  when chatting  with
                                                                 someone you don't know in real life.
