Internet Safety

The Internet can be a exciting and educational space. The Internet can be to connect with friends and family, or communicate with people from all over the world.  The Internet is a vast resource of knowledge and information and a powerful tool for learning and communicating.  But, while the Internet is powerful and full of positive opportunities is also can be a dangerous place.  We have spent the last week learning about Internet safety in class.

Here are some basics:

  • Never share names, schools, ages, phone numbers, or addresses.
  • Never open an email from a stranger - it may contain viruses that can harm a computer.
  • Never send pictures to strangers or view pictures that strangers send.
  • Keep passwords private (except to parents).
  • Tell a trusted adult if something mean or creepy happens on the Internet.
Check out a some of these safety web sites:
Enjoy the Internet but, be wise and safe while you are surfing the net!

  8. Internet Safety is very important because you can get hurt or even die if you give a person to much information that is why you shouldn't give someone that you don't know your address, cell number, location, ect.

  13. Is there a way to know if there's a virus in a message; and can that virus spread to other computers?

    1. Good question. I think the only way you can know if a message you are downloading has a virus is to scan it with your antivirus software first. Your antivirus should be able to catch it if it has a virus. But, you can never be 100% sure. If you do get a virus you can spread it to other computer through disk drives, USB drives, and emails. Hope that helps answers some of your questions.

  31. I have learned that internet safety is very important. I think it is very important to be safe on the internet because you can have a stocker and they can find out where you live and they can track you down, and watch you sleep. So you should really listen when someone is talking about internet safety.

  32. Hey,
    well in the last 3 weeks I've learned alot about internet safety. It's very important to stay safe and don't share any personal information with anyone. We've learned alot about spelling errors, grammer, and proper puntuation.If you come across anything that makes me feel scared, uncomfortable. or scared to report it, flag it and tell an adult. Never send a picture of yourself to anyone over the internet. If you receive any file over the internet from someone you don't know I will not open it and delete it! So far Computer Literacy has been really fun and I hope it gets even better. Always remember Stay Safe Online!!

  43. Hey guys I think that Internet safety is really important and you should always watch what your doing. You might fall into a dark abyss of problems. It is really simple for some one to actually take everything away from you on the Internet. So WATCH-OUT! Or you will lose everything!
