Week 02 - Sharing Special Moments


We’re not always able to be around for the big things in life, but the internet has made it easier to share in those moments even when we can’t be there in person. From the video of your baby’s first steps to photos of their graduation, we’ll focus on sharing special moments safely with advice on: 

  • Staying safe while file sharing 

  • Malware and antivirus software 

  • Storing and backing up data
