HOW CAN I PROMOTE THE PROPER USE OF COMPUTER IN UB

First thing is that as a student we must take care of computers, which can be viewed as a privilege. It is also important for us to learn to protect the computer. Malware such as viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are even more prevalent today because of the increased use of email, fax, blogs, social media, etc. We should be alert and active at all times when encountering suspicious messages, links, pop-up windows, etc. to prevent computers from being infected with malicious software. We,students, should also know if there may be malware on the computer so that any problems can be addressed right away.

As what is on the seminar I should also prevent cyberbullying. Nowadays we interact with one another via social networks, chat rooms, blogs, and etc. daily. They can write or say just about anything on these platforms, which then can be forwarded to many with just a few clicks, causing more issues if the information is sensitive or hurtful to another. I also need to know about the serious repercussions for intentionally harming someone online. Being aware on what we are posting, saying or what to any social media accounts can prevent us from having conflict.

We should know how to give importance on the proper usage of computers which can help us be a good learner or digital learner of todays generation.
