Ways to be safe online

Since we are going to be using online resources in our classroom, I wanted to go over some guidelines.  These will help you be safe while you are doing your homework.  I encourage you to share these with your parents so you will be safe at home and they will understand my rules while you are doing work for this class.  


This video explains a little bit about why we need to be careful when working online.

Some online tips!

1.  Do not share your password with anyone except your parents.
2.  If something you see makes you uncomfortable, tell an adult right away.
3.  Remember, not everything you read on the internet is true.  
4. When you are online, what you do is up to you.  
5. Don't do anything that you don't want to do.
6.  Never agree to meet someone you met on the internet without your parent's permission.
7.  Any information you share about yourself can be seen by anyone who is online.
8.  Don't do things online that you wouldn't do in real life.
9.  Treat others the way you would like to be treated. 

Please remember that it is not that we are trying to control you or that we don't trust you.  We want to protect you from the weird things out there.
