Internet Safety

Internet safety pertains to being careful online. The internet is a great way to get information, stay connected, and release boredom; but it can also be used for negative things, which is why we learn about and practice interent safety. There are three main things that you need to know to stay safe on the interent. First, never share personal information over the web; you never know who will be able to read it or what they will do with it. Second, do not share passwords with anybody; they could get onto your account and change, do, or say whatever they want. Lastly, if you ever get a message from someone you dont know or someone that seems creepy, or an inapropriate picture or message, do not respond. Print out the message, make one copy of the picture, and report it all to a parents or other adult you trust. I learned that police officers go under cover and pose as young kids over the internet so that they can catch the bad people that are out there.
