Wise up to IT
Wise up to IT explores the lives of four young people and their experiences on the internet.
The videos present four situations in four stories—offering many strategies to address the issues raised

Your computer takes ages to load programs and open files. You’re constantly bombarded with pop-ups. If this sounds familiar, watch this video and see how one guy helped protect himself and his computer.
Meet Jeremy. He’s having a hard time at school, his parents are always nagging him about something and life is pretty miserable. But he can escape it all in cyberspace.
Sarah is a pretty active internet user. She’s a regular in chat rooms, often posts info in discussion groups and has visited a heap of websites. She meets some pretty interesting people online as well, people with similar interests…sport, music, movies and stuff like that. But when someone starts following her in cyberspace it gets pretty scary.
