Managing Your Personal Information Online
Basic steps to take control of your personal information online—no tech skills needed
Take steps to stay safe online
As a sex educator, you’re doing essential work to make sure all young people have the knowledge and support they need to thrive. You deserve to feel safe in your work—not just physically and emotionally, but also digitally.
As conversations about sex ed become more visible, so do the people leading them. That visibility can sometimes bring unwanted attention online. Taking steps to stay safe online can support your overall well-being.
Sex educators deserve tools to protect themselves now
This interactive workbook provides you with an understanding of key online safety risks and concrete steps to take control of your personal information online.
Prioritize and organize
As you complete the workbook, prioritize and keep track of all your accounts with this helpful spreadsheet.
You don’t need to be a tech expert to get started. Even small steps can make a big difference.
And if you’ve already experienced online harassment, know this: You are not to blame, and you are not alone. It’s up to all of us to advocate for better protections for educators’ safety.
