Keeping safe online

By Martha Rice
Nobody knows me!
So I can be anybody and do anything!
 You might think that you can be
anonymous online.
 You can hide behind fake names
and avatars.
 But what you do can hurt, and
what you see can hurt you.

Video: But it’s anonymous. How can it hurt?


Game: Friend or block these “friends” on social
networking sites.
Who are you talking to online?

 You can’t really know who you’re talking to


when you meet strangers online.
 Even though you can meet
good people online, you can
also meet bad people who
only want to hurt you.

Watch their stories: Julie, Ryan and Noah, Amy


They can’t find me!

 How much can a bad guy really find out about


you online?

Video: Find out how much we can find out onlin


e about Teresa.

Experiments:
 Use Google Earth to see if you
can find your house.
 Do a Google search for your
Passwords

 Use combinations of
numbers, letters, and
punctuation to create the safest passwords
that nobody can guess.
 Never tell anybody your passwords!

Video: see what happened to one girl who


shared her password with a friend.

websites
 avoiding opening suspicious files
and emails.

Cyberbullies

 You’re not a mean person. But


sometimes you can still get
caught up in being mean. We all can.
 What happens when people do mean things
online? What if it happened to you, or to
someone you love?

 Video: Watch this video to see.


 Video: And if you wouldn’t say it in person, do
n’t say it online.
Texting trouble

 If somebody’s bothering you


with texts on your cellphone or on the
Internet,
block or ignore them, and tell somebody.
 Don’t spread rumors online or with texts.

 Videos: how did cyberbullying


affect Joe, his family, and his fellow students
?
Should I post this?

 When you post something,


it can come back to haunt you later.
 You know better than to post personal
information, but you should also avoid
posting stuff that makes you look bad.
 Even if you take it off, once it’s online,
colleges and employers can still see it from
archived sources.
 Video: See what these guys say about offline
consequences of online posts.
Wanna share?

 Just because it’s on the


Internet, or even if you bought it, you do not own
the rights to use it any way you want to.
 The people who made it—whether it’s music,
writing, or any other art—own the copyright to
the work.
 So don’t file share. Not only is it a form of
stealing, file sharing sites are often full of viruses
and other malware.
Game: How dangerous is file sharing?
Report Cybercrime

 You try your best to keep yourself


safe online, but if you sense danger,
you need to tell somebody…to get help for
yourself and for others.
 Report Cybercrime here…
 …or you can always tell your teachers,
parents, school counselors or principals, or
even your local police (call 911 for
emergencies!)
