Be kind online

• Keep it kind. When you are online, think about others and talk or share in a kind way.

• Keep it to yourself. Keep your passwords and information about yourself or other people safe and private.

• Keep it careful.  Think carefully about what you share and make sure it’s something you are proud of and would be happy sharing with someone else face to face.

• Keep it real.  Not everything you see online is real. It might look or sound real, but some things are made up or fake, so be careful to check or ask a teacher if you’re not sure.

• Keep it honest. When we copy or use words, pictures and ideas from the internet, we need to make sure we share these things in the right way and follow the rules for sharing things that don’t belong to us.

• Keep it fair. Make sure you check with others if it is okay to record them, or share photos or videos with them in it. They should have a say in what happens to things that go online if they are in them. 

Keep it responsible. If you bring your own device to school, use it in ways, and at the times that your teacher says it is okay to.
