How to be safe on the world wide web!!

Students, there are many things that you need to be aware of when using the internet to be safe.  Here is a quick list of ideas to keep you safe while online:
  • Do NOT put personal information online or share information with strangers, such as your name, address, or phone number because you never know who will read it or when it will be read.
  • Do NOT install or download and software/programs that could be dangerous or harmful.
  • Do NOT click on advertisements online.
  • If you accidentally come across something that seems inappropriate leave the webpage immediately.
  • Do NOT share your passwords with anyone else, even friends.
  • Do NOT accept a gift or present from someone online; it is almost definitely a scam.
