                 Parental Assistance while using Internet

                 Parental assistance while using the Internet is crucial to ensure children's safety, well-being, and
                 responsible digital habits. These are some of the following measures where parents can provide
                 guidance:

                      Instruct your child not to open e-mails or accept friend requests from people they do not know.
                      Instruct your child to view only the sites which are as per their age. Keep a check on their
                      online activities.

                      Keep strong password for e-mail accounts or social networking websites.
                      Ask your children not to share their personal details and password with others.
                      Protect  the  computer  system  through  the  firewall  so  that  unnecessary  sites  can  not  be
                      accessed by the children.

                      Keep changing the password and privacy settings of the computers.

                    DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS

                 Footprints are the impression  we leave through  foot or walking on the
                 ground while moving. In the same way, a digital footprint is an impression
                 a user leaves while using the Internet.

                 A digital footprint is used to describe the mark, traces or "footprints" that
                 a person leaves when  he uses the Internet.  The information exchanged
                 online through e-mails and attachments, uploading videos  or images leave
                 marks of personal information about you which is available to others online.
                 A digital footprint is also known as digital dossier.
                 How to Delete Digital Footprints


                 As we leave marks or footprints when we work online, these footprints could be used by others
                 in a positive or negative way. One should follow certain guidelines while being online. Some of
                 them are as follows:
                      Keep deleting the browsing history and cookies from your computer on a regular basis.

                      Turn on your Privacy setting in such a way that only your family or friends, friends or known
                      people can see your posts.
