Digital world is already the extension of our real day to day living. In teaching-learning process, Kumustahan with family, co-workers, learners and friends, regarding business, career, and other transactions requires us to go online. Due to pandemic and movement restrictions, overused of social media leads everyone to be exposed to different cyber activities. Now, it is our responsibility to safeguard our own security when using any social media platforms. It is true that values are caught not taught. Self-monitoring including emotional and psycho-social well-being to foster healthy relationship online should be considered. We must abide with the rules and regulations of cyber wellness and the golden rule “Do unto others what you want others do to you”.

Nowadays, especially during this pandemic, being online in different platforms (educational or social media) are very common. It is very beneficial to us as for entertainment and education or other aspects of our life, but on the other side, there is the very bad side of it IF someone did not use those platforms intelligently. Parents and teachers are essential part of the rationalization of digital natives, our learners, because the digital world is very scary and they cannot yet distinguish what’s safe and what’s not out there.

In every aspects there’s always advantages and disadvantages, social media is a very powerful tool in terms of communication,education,business and others…all we need to do is to be more responsible individuals. As implementer we also need to properly educate our learner’s about responsible posting online for their safety. But we cannot do this if we do not know what to do or we are not properly oriented about securities on social media…we need to equipped ourselves with necessary skills most especially when we are posting on social media sites…we cannot just post whatever we want to post, we must always ask ourselves if our posts are beneficial or distructive to others..we must always remember that we must think before we click for everybodies safety. We can be abused or we can be abusive if we are not responsible… We can be punished under the law if will take for granted the rules being imposed.
