I get 1:1 support in class for Cyber Safety. I have had support from Lenva, Fiona and Heather, and they have all taught me different ways to be safe and efficient online. Heather taught me how to clean my Gmail up so it was useful to get a refresher.

I have learnt how to use Calendar and how to be a professional when using it. It is helpful when inviting people to an event, and letting people know what is going to be happening. I have also learnt how to use Google Hangouts, which was quite exciting.

It could be a great way to share work, do a joint lesson, or even make new friends.

I would also like to start using Toby Mini, an extension that helps control tabs. Sometimes my tabs can get out of hand,
