Internet Safety Tips (8th grade)

How Can You Protect Your Privacy?
-Never fill out forms or enter contests on commercial websites without your Mom or Dad first checking their privacy statements before completing any information.
-Always check with your parents before adding any information to a website form.
-Guard against becoming too comfortable about submitting information as a regular part of online activities.
-It is easy to forget and share personal information without stopping to think that you may be in a risky online environment.
-Put a note on your computer to remind you: NEVER give out personal information!

ALWAYS REMEMBER:


-Tell Mom and Dad about anything that makes you feel uncomfortable when you are using the computer.
-Teach your parents to stay safe while using the computer. You probably know more about the computer than they do.
-Set a good example for younger brothers and sisters when you are using the computer. They learn from you. -Help to keep them safe!
-Your parents want to protect you all they can, BUT you have to help them do that.

Have fun using the Computer by making safety a priority!
