Eanes ISD Technology

Wednesday, Sept. 20th, Attorney General Greg Abbott and detectives from the Cyber crime unit presented information to Eanes parents, teachers, and students concerning cyber safety and how we can all be safer on the Internet. While this panel provided some great information, there just wasn’t enough time to detail to parents and students how to be more safe on the Internet.

If you have specific questions that you want answered on how you can make your child’s computer or your own computer safer from online predators, please post that question here and a Campus Technology Coordinator from elementary, middle, and/or high school will respond.
