Be Safe Online these Holidays
Do you know who can see your child’s online profile?
How can you manage cyber bullying?
What do trolls have to do with the internet?
School holidays are a great opportunity for the family to indulge themselves and spend more time than usual on online pursuits. Whether it's keeping in touch with friends, Christmas shopping online, uploading and organising photos or gaming, personal security is important.
Test your knowledge of how to best protect yourself and your family by using the brand new course Learning Internet Safety, available via Computer Training Online.
The course starts from the basics with online browsing and email issues eg. Phishing scams, dangerous attachments, suspicious links etc - and so is great for informing new online device users (older parents, younger children) of the need for caution.
It looks at social media sites. Each one has different security controls and they can be confusing. Even if you think you are sharing information privately, that may not be the case, so to protect your privacy, safety and reputation, our most private information address phone number and date of birth should never be shared. Find out what else you should know.
There is a session on purchasing online and what to keep in mind, to make sure you are being as secure with your credit card details as you can possibly be. Don't end up paying for something that never arrives, learn how to pick a reputable selling site.
What exactly constitutes Cyberbullying? and what is the best way to mange it if it is happening to your child? Personal attacks are not welcome especially when they can come at any time of the day or night. Being aware of how to deal with them effectively may shorten their lifespan and so lessen the impact.

Computer??? Help!!!
Personalised help with your computer/laptop/tablet conundrums is available from your library service on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Library staff will use their own knowledge to assist you as best they can with your specific computer problem, in a half hour, one on one session.
Do you have emails with photos that you don't know how to save?
Are the library's ebooks elusively out of reach?
Is there an online form which is not letting you submit it?
Would you like to be able to read online magazines when not connected to the internet?
Are there services you are being offered you don't know whether to use ?
These problems and more can be tackled in these personalised sessions.
To help the library staff help you, ring and book a session, giving details of the specific problem you would like help with. The library can then allocate the staff member who will be the best match to aid you.
If you would like more general help with learning the basic functions of computers, or standard programs like Microsoft Office, Windows 2010, or how to use Twitter and Facebook then Computer Training Online may be of more use to you.
This is an interactive program which works slowly through each step of the learning process allowing time for you to practice as you go, reinforcing what you are learning. You are asked to create your own account so you can track your progress. Sessions are short and can be completely in whatever order you wish.
Computer Help is available at the following locations and times:
Sutherland Library
Tuesdays between 10am to 12noon and 2pm to 4pm
Phone 9710 0351
Menai Library
Tuesdays and Thursdays between 2pm to 4pm

Engadine Library

Remember to ring first and talk to a staff member to determine if your problem is one library staff can help with, to avoid disappointment.

Online Computer Training
Need to upgrade your job skills? Your library card is all you need to access online resources that will enhance your existing work-related skills, or help you acquire new ones.
Learn a variety of computing skills with this self-paced and interactive program. Courses include Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2010 and social networking (Facebook, Twitter, Blogger)
Create a new account to start Computer Training Online and keep track of your progress through the different lessons. Spend 10 minutes or 10 hours at a time. Take one week or the rest of the year to complete the tasks. It's entirely self-paced so the time you devote is up to you. Your progression through the sessions will be recorded so you always know where to take it up again.
Once you have entered your library card number, New Users of Computer Training Online will need to Create an Account. Just fill in this basic form:
Decide which course you'd like to start with...
Pick the version you wish to know more about..
Launch whichever lesson you want .....
Each task provides an estimated time, and the number of steps, for completion. But there is no actual time limit...take as little or as much time as required.
Once complete, restart the task again and again until you've got it!
Each session is interactive, requiring you to participate in the learning process, so you are actually completing the tasks you are being taught about. The training screens replicate exactly what you will be seeing when you attempt the same process 'live' on your computer.
This suite of courses, if completed, will go a long way in providing the knowledge required in computer skills to get that first job, or get back into the workforce after a break.
