Week 2 - Online Safety

Online Safety

Online safety is just using common sense and not telling the whole world all your personal business. Listen to mama and keep your personal business personal. Follow your instinct on what does not feel right to post on the web. If you feel uncomfortable sharing something you have written, or posed for, then don't post it for the world to see. Don't embrass or demean your family, friends, co-workers or even your enemies because it could come back to haunt you. Be cautious about opening email attachments from someone that you do not know. Remember that some companies google your name before interviewing you for a job so watch what you post about yourself on "MySpace" when you were a teenagers, all those surveys that you fibbed about, they may come back to bite you. Nothing goes away on the World Wide Web. Here is a good site to help your children. http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/devlin/14799
