Online safety is knowing how to stay safe online. Students should know what to look for to make sure a website is safe for use. If a website seems unsafe or even if you are not sure, it is important to tell an adult immediately. To practice online safety, you should have very strong passwords, make sure you have protection for your devices, do not talk to strangers online or anyone without a parent or adult present, and never post any personal information. To see if a website is secure, make sure that it says https instead of http because the s stands for secure. Continue to be careful on these sites.
Personal information should never be put online. Be careful when making usernames by not using your full name or even avoid using our real name. Never tell someone where you live on the internet, the school you go to, or give clues as to where you live. Do not put your age on the internet or pictures of yourself.
