In the age of the internet, young people are often faced with situations that may not always be safe online. 

Nat Dorgan, Assistant Principal of Warrensburg-Latham Elementary School explains online safety with students has been a big part of his new position. 

Dorgan notes although he has limited time with the students each day to work on internet safety, his goal is to spread awareness. He wants to teach kids to think twice when coming across something that may be unsafe. 

Dorgan focuses on teaching kids what is safe to share online, and what is not such as personal information. He uses emojis as a tool to reach the students in a way they understand. 

Dorgan indicates the online gaming community and social media are two especially toxic places for children, because they are being exposed to things they don't often comprehend. 

Before the program began, Dorgan sent a letter home to let parents know what they were teaching, but he used that as a lesson too by having A.I. write the letter. 

Although this lesson is being taught to elementary students, it's always important to be safe online no matter your age. Superintendent Cheryl Warner mentions this is just the start.
