As summer break ends, many students will return to school with mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets, and 
laptops. Although these devices can help students complete schoolwork and stay in touch with family and friends, there 
are risks associated with using them. However, there are simple steps that can help students stay safe while using 
their internet-connected devices.
