We all want to stay safe when we connect and play online, but as digital citizens we have to be on our toes. Cyber criminals are always crafting new ways to try trick or scam us. In this episode, Sam and Trent share their own personal experiences with managing scams in their daily digital use.

There's nothing more frustrating that notifications taking our focus and drawing us into our favourite apps and games. In this episode Sam & Trent talk about the privacy and wellbeing settings that we can take control of our cyber safety and digital balance.

We know the online world is awesome, but for many people it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Negative comments, trolls, exclusion and cyberbullying are some of experiences digital citizens can go through and at times it can come out of nowhere. While these experiences are far from enjoyable, knowledge is power and therefore knowing where we can go for support and help, and who we can talk to can be the first step in dealing with these cyber abuse.
