Keeping Your Child Safe Online

Dear Parents,

I would like to introduce a free program to keep your child safe online.

Windows Live Family Safety helps make it easy for you!

You can install on the computer your child use, so you can give them some independence but still keep tabs on their computer activities. It can help keep your child off websites you don't want them looking at, and only let them talk to the people you're fine with them talking to.

To find out more or to install the program, go to

Do take care of your child's eyes.
Some tips:
1) look away from your computer at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet away) for at least 20 seconds. Some eye doctors call this the "20-20-20 rule." Looking far away relaxes the focusing muscle inside the eye to reduce fatigue.


2) Adjust your computer display settings 

Brightness. Adjust the brightness of the display so it's approximately the same as the brightness of your surrounding workstation.   

Text size and contrast. Adjust the text size and contrast for comfort, especially when reading or composing long documents.

Colour temperature. Reducing the colour temperature of your display lowers the amount of blue light emitted by a colour display for better long-term viewing comfort.

Computer Lessons for 1F

Dear Parents,

Your child has created an GMail account in LMS during the computer lesson today. Every Wednesday, they are in the computer lab for 2 periods.

Currently, they are learning keyboard Typing. There are 4 levels for one to master the keyboard letters.

Dear Boys and Girls, I'm glad that most of you have completed Level 1. Keep up the good work! You must be patient to place your fingers correctly before you start the online lesson. If you insist to use two fingers to complete the stages, you are wasting your time and you will not succeed in learning it.

To access GMail in LMS:

1. Go to LMS (http://lms.asknlearn.com)
2. Click on Tools at the main blue bar.
3. Click on Google Apps under Collaborative Learning
4. Click on Gmail for Education
5. If there is a 'Security Warning' small window, click on 'Yes'
6. Finally, it is GMail
