Dear Students,
The Internet is a very important tool for all of us to use. It gives us endless opportunities for exploration, research and communication. It is important to understand and know that we need to keep ourselves safe on the internet and protect ourselves from any harm that we may encounter by using it. I have put together a list that highlights the key elements of cyber safety and how to protect yourselves from any "cyber abuse". This list will help keep you safe. Be responsible!
Cyber Safety Tips: Do's and Dont's
1. DO protect your passwords. Keep them in a safe spot and don't tell anyone except your parents. Make sure that your password is something hard to guess. Example: A random combination of numbers and letters.
2. DO NOT open any e-mails or attachments within an e-mail if you are unsure of the sender. A lot of the times these may contain viruses.
3. DO NOT talk to strangers in chat rooms, messenger or any other form of communication on the internet. Only talk to people you know!
4. DO NOT post your address, phone number and any other personal information anywhere publicly. This includes personal blogs, myspace, facebook and any other public space on the internet. If you need to send someone your address or phone number, do it by phone or a private e-mail or message.
5. DO use a virus scan before downloading programs and games.
6. DO NOT steal copyrighted computer programs. This is considered stealing and there can be severe consequences.
7. DO NOT copyright material and pretend that it is your own. This is another form of stealing and it is very easy to be caught.
8. DO use the internet to browse websites and expand your knowledge. Just be sure to do so in a safe and responsible way!
