                      UNDERSTANDING EMAIL AND MESSAGING SAFETY

                                                “Have a look at Ananya, a 12-year-old student’s schedule.”

                      Ananya  begins  her day  by  checking  her Gmail  inbox.  Her teacher  has  sent  the  syllabus  and
                      worksheets for an upcoming online test and she quickly downloads the files. In the afternoon, she
                      opens WhatsApp to share photos of her science project with classmates and discuss homework.
                      In the evening, she writes an email to her sports coach to confirm the next practice session.
