Abstract :
The main purpose of elementary school is to prepare students to be educated, critical thinking individuals who can provide and help their community. Community is now elevated on the virtual level and specific rules of conduct apply. School can influence student´s behavior while online. Every informatics teacher can help their community by making workshops for students, their parents and colleagues about social networks. The goal is to raise awareness, educate and prevent online deviant behavior in our community. Those workshops can make a difference not only for our students, but also for their parents and colleagues as well.
