sense in the lessons
In everyday life and school you use websites to look things up, play learning games and read news. In online safety, only use websites a trusted adult has allowed, never give your password or address to a website you don't know, and remember that not everything on a website is true — check facts in more than one place. Websites have addresses like www.example.com.
