Be Smart Be Safe

• The Internet is not anonymous. When you sign
  on, others have access to you. Your e-mail
  address, screen name, and password serve as
  barriers between you and others. You need to
  maintain this barrier by not giving out private
  information. There are many out there who would
  like to know more for various reasons
• They could want to harm you.
• They could want money
• They could use information to conduct their
  own business - either selling your info or
  using it in an illegal manner.

11
Private Information

• This information should not be given out on the
  Internet to maintain your safety.
• Name Address
• School Friends names
• Family names Age
• Social Security Number Phone number

12
Indirect Information Solicitation

• Sometimes, while online, people want to find out
  more about you for illegal purposes. However,
  they go about it in different ways. They may
  trick you into giving out information. You may
  not even realize what you have told them.
  Indirect information about your school,
  activities, etc, could lead them to knowing where
  you live. Be aware of what you say at all times.

13
User Id/Screen name

• A User Id is a nickname you select to identify
  you in e-mail, chats, etc.
• DO NOT USE Personal Information such as
• -Your real first name -Your real last name
  -Your location (i.e. hilliegirl, HaverhillGuy)
  -Your zip code -A suggestive name or word (i.e.
  sexyman42, hotbabygirl) -Pornographic or obscene
  words
• For added security, always opt NOT to add your
  name or nickname to any sort of member directory.
  

14
Password

• A Password is a series of letters, numbers or
  symbols used to log you into a computer system.
  Passwords are used to access email, join
  chatrooms, etc. They are usually between 6 and 8
  characters long.
• Password Security
• Dont tell anyone your password.
• Don't write your password down anywhere.
• When you decide on a password, make sure it
  can't be guessed.
• If you think there's even a chance someone else
  might know your password, change it.
• Make sure no one is standing near you when you
  enter your password

15
Watch out for Dangers On the Web

• Inappropriate sites - There are some sites you
  should not go to. They can be pornographic, hate
  filled, or upsetting. When you accidentally come
  across a site you know you shouldnt be in, close
  out of it quickly. If you still have trouble,
  try logging off completely or rebooting.

16
Watch out for Dangers On the Web

•    Faulty information sites - Dont trust
  everything you read without double-checking and
  checking references.

17
Watch out for Dangers On the Web

• Private Information Some websites ask you for
  private information before you can access their
  stuff. Make sure you ask your parents before
  giving anyone private information.

18
Watch out for Dangers On the Web

• Your own website Many teens now have their own
  websites. However, you have to be careful about
  what information you display.

19
Watch out for Dangers in E-mail

• E-mail is an online form of communication,
  typically between two people. Just like in
  regular mail, users write letters and send them
  electronically.
• Spamming many companies advertise via e-mail.
  They try to entice you to purchase items, visit
  inappropriate sites, etc. Delete these e-mails.
• Be careful when you reply to an e-mail. You are
  including your e-mail address and you dont know
  where it will go from there.

20
Watch out for Dangers in Email

• Inappropriate, offensive, angry e-mail should be
  reported to your Internet provider.
• Remember - the sender of an e-mail may not be
  someone you know dont send personal
  information, photographs, etc.

21
Watch out for Dangers in Chatting

• Chats can result in revealing information you
  wouldnt normally reveal. This can leave you
  open to online predators.

22
Here are Some Tips to Remember when Chatting

• Keep online interaction online. Dont agree to
  meet or phone people met online.
• Dont give out personal information. Be careful
  about indirectly saying too much like school
  mascot, game times, etc. Eventually you will
  have said enough.
• Keep your parents or guardians informed of online
  interaction.
• Use Chat rooms that are moderated.
• Be suspicious of someone who wants to be your
  friend and turns you against your parents,
  teachers or friends.
• Private chats arent always private when you
  meet offline friends online in a private chat
  room be careful. Others can often enter and
  lurk.
• Try to choose a gender-neutral online screen name

23
Watch out forDangers in Newsgroups, Forums, and
Bulletin Boards

• The main thing to remember is to NOT include
  personal information in postings. Dont reveal
  anything identifying about yourself.
• Realize that by posting, you are making your
  e-mail address public.
• Be careful not to participate in a group which
  might be illegal or hateful.

24
Resources for reporting incidents

• Here is a general guideline for reporting
  Internet wrongdoing.
• Call the local police and ask if they have a
  dept. affiliated with "Internet Crimes Against
  Children (ICAC). If they do, go through that
  dept.
• 2. Simultaneously, file a report with the
  Cybertips hotline [phone]. Reports can
  be made directly online by clicking on the
  Cybertipline at http//www.missingkids.com/ 

25
What you can do ...

• The following are guidelines on proactive things
  you can do when you are bothered, harassed, or
  annoyed while online.
• Use these tips to make your online experience one
  that is more fun and safe too!

Junk E-mail/Spam

  provider. Do not click unsubscribe as this
  identifies you as a real person.

  technology and/or Internet know-how to provide
  materials, technical assistance, etc. for
  outreach activities.

  activity or to put on the i-SAFE Assembly
  Experience.

33
Activity Time

  to divide into groups. Your teacher will divide
  you up. (Or can be completed as one large group
  if desired)
• You may complete this activity with computers or
  without!

  group will contribute to the end product a final
  presentation.

• Each group will have a specific topic
• Group 1 - User IDs/Passwords
• Group 2 - Private Information
• Group 3 - Online Interaction

  danger

  final presentation together.

35

  the class. If using PowerPoint slides, create
  one large class presentation. You can also do
  the same with any other props you created.
