Cyber Safety

Limit time on the Internet

• Set limits on length of time on the Internet

• Explore the Internet in designated places

Think before acting…

• Slow down • If necessary, stop

before going ahead

Some paths are not good choices...

• If you make a wrong turn, get out the safest and quickest way possible

It is dangerous to share…

• Your first & last name, address, telephone number, password, school name, parent’s name, any other personal information in the Internet

If you have a bad feeling…

• If you go to a site that makes you uncomfortable – you can always escape from the Internet or shut the computer off
