* Do not give out your personal information (name, address, phone number, etc.)

* Do not communicate with anyone online that you do not know in real life.

*For websites that require a username, do not use your real name.

*Get an adult’s permission before signing up for anything on the internet.

* Be polite on the computer. Don’t send mean or inappropriate messages. The golden rule applies to the computer, too: Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

*Remember that things you post online last FOREVER. Ask your future self before you post.

*Don’t respond to messages that are mean or make you feel uncomfortable. Let an adult know immediately.

*If something inappropriate pops up on your screen, turn the monitor off and go get an adult immediately.

* Do not download anything on the computer without an adult’s permission. It could be harmful to your computer.
