Internet safety ppt

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Internet safety should start early at home. Basic steps should help prepare your preschooler for internet and computer use. Golden Rule – do not do or say anything online that you wouldn’t say in person
  • #9 Pass around the paper doll and ask audience to crumple different parts of the doll. As students enter upper elementary school and middle school, interest in the opposite sex increases. Rumors start and hurt feelings insue. If things are posted on the internet carelessly, permanent damage to the person can incur. We can straighten out all of the wrinkles to this paper doll, just as we can remove content from the internet, but the effect of the actions is lasting.
  • #10 Flaming – hostile and insulting interaction between internet users Cyberstalking - the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization. It may include false accusations, monitoring, making threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sex, or gathering information in order to harass. The definition of "harassment" must meet the criterion that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.[
  • #12 Anyone has access Pedophile or a teenager?
  • #15 1. 14% of teens have actually met with a stranger they met online!!!!!!
  • #17 2. you’ll just get more
  • #18 1. won’t show up on searches Viewable to your approved “friends” (2 min video)
