The ability to exchange text messages with other
Internet users in real time.
13
Personal Safety Tips
  • Never reveal identifying information in your
    screen name, profile or conversations with people
    you do not know.
  • Identifying information includes name, address,
    phone number, and school name.
  • Never arrange a face to face meeting with
    strangers from the internet without first
    discussing with your parents.

Cyber Predators
  • Predators can gain information about a child
    before they begin to converse through
  • Screen Names
  • Profiles
  • Watching conversations in chat rooms

16
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.

17
Private Information
  • One way to be safe is not to give out this
    information
  • Name Address
  • School Friends names
  • Family names Age
  • Social Security Number Phone number

18
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.

19
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

20
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.

21
Watch out for Dangers On the Web
  •    Faulty information sites - Dont trust
    everything you read without double-checking and
    checking references.

22
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.

23
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.

24
Watch Out!
  • If you have your own website
  • Discuss your site and profile with your parents
  • Make sure there is no identifying information in
    the profile or on your site
  • Do not post pictures of your self or your friends
  • Do not include any personal information about
    your life or family

25
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.

26
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.

27
Watch out for Dangers in Chatting
  • Chats can result in revealing information you
    wouldnt normally reveal. This can leave you
    open to online predators.

28
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

29
Resources for reporting incidents

    Internet wrongdoing.
  • Tell a trusted adult
  • Call the local police

30

    annoyed while online.
