Internet Safety Tips for Elementary School Students
 |
Safety. |
Cyberpals are strangers. Never meet a cyberpal face-to-face
without taking a responsible adult with you. Never give
out your personal identity information unless a responsible
adult says you can.
 |
Manners. |
Be a good cyber citizen. Understand your school’s Acceptable
Use Policy. Copying information from a Web site and pretending
it’s yours, is plagiarism. Downloading or sharing copyright
protected software without the owners’ permission is stealing.
 |
Advertising. |
Learn to recognize online advertisements. Protect yourself,
your family and friends by not giving any private identity
information to any Web site without first asking permission
of a responsible adult.
 |
Research. |
Smart searching includes trying more than one search site
and more than one keyword. Find out how to identify high-quality
Web sites. Ask your teacher or librarian to help you find
the best information on the Web or in books.
 |
Technology. |
Cyberspace connects real people and information around
the world. Remember to keep your passwords private. Ask
your family to use a firewall and anti-virus software
to protect your computer and files.
