Introduction

Let's first learn how to make the connection between the "real" world and the "Digital" world.

Did you know that the decisions you make in your digital world affect you as much as those made in the real world?

In fact, your digital decisions and behaviors can affect you more and for longer than decisions that

you make in the real world--even with prospective employers and college applications!

In this lesson, you will learn the importance of being a responsible digital citizen.

You will learn about potential online dangers and how to stay safe using instant messaging and how to protect your reputation.

Step 1: Internet Safety Rules and

Protecting Your Reputation Online

Before we begin, watch the video - Protecting Reputations Online

TOP 10 ONLINE SAFETY TIPS!

1. People can save everything that is said online.

2. Only say online, what you’d be willing to say in person.

3. Be careful what pictures and videos you post/upload online.

4. Kids should tell a trusted adult if they feel they are in an uncomfortable situation. Your parents, guardian, grandparents, teachers, etc. should always know where you are going online (URL) and what you are doing.

5. Keep all of your passwords private.

6. Don’t open anything from people you do not know.

7. Never give out your personal information online. Where you live, your phone number, the school you attend, etc. should always be kept private.

8. MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook are NOT secure, even when set to private.

9. Not everyone online is who they say they are. You should never agree to meet anyone who you don't know.

10. Use common sense!
