  1. The Door That’s Not Locked Safety and the Internet: A guide for students

  2. What Does “Door that’s not Locked” Even Mean? • We put locks on our doors at home to keep intruders out. Burglars want our “stuff.” • What kind of things do internet intruders want? • They want your personal information. Birthday, home address, phone number, credit card numbers, and more!

  3. Why We Use the Internet Let’s brainstorm some reasons why we would log onto the internet.

  4. How Did We Do? • Online games • Instant messaging • E-mail • School work • Search engines • Social networking (Facebook, Twitter) • Blogs (online journals) • Video sites (YouTube) • Wi-Fi devices (iPods, smartphones, tablets) • Downloading (games, music, movies)

  5. How Our Parents Can Help Keep Us Safe Parents have the right to monitor your online activity. It is their computer, they pay for the internet, and anything that goes on the internet is public anyway. Parents should create rules on how to use the internet. They should check in with you often.

  6. …Continued 3. Try to use child friendly search engines like Yahoo!Kids. 4. Know the difference between public and private information. Private information should never be shared with strangers. 5. Never open e-mail from strangers.

  7. … Continued 6. Know what a “secure password” is, and never share this with anyone other than your parents. 7. Not everyone online is exactly who they say they are. You can’t check to see if they are telling the truth or if they are just looking for private information.

  8. … Continued 8. “If Asked to Share and Your Parents Aren’t Aware- SAY NO!” If a stranger is asking you for private information, never give them it. Ask your parents what you can and cannot share with strangers. 9. Get permission to talk to strangers on social networking sites. The internet is not a good place to “make friends.”

  9. … Continued 9. We have rules on behaviour in the “real world” and there are rules on behaviour in the “online world” too. 10. The internet is not a bad place when you are safe. If anything or anyone makes you uncomfortable, tell an adult you trust. It is okay to say you are uncomfortable.

  10. Should you ever use your real picture as an avatar? • Your picture should not be used as an avatar in games that can be linked to your personal profile. There are usually pre-set images to choose from!

  11. Someone asked me to “cam” with them. Should I give in? • No! Going on webcam or video chatting with a stranger is never a good idea. They can see what you look like, and even take pictures of you on their screen. Stay safe, cam only with people you know!

  12. REVIEW How are we as students going to protect ourselves against online intruders? Never share private information. Use secure passwords. Use child friendly search engines. Do not open e-mail from strangers. Do not chat with strangers without your parent’s permission. Behave responsibly online.

  13. REVIEW How will our parents help keep us safe from online intruders? Monitor our online activity. (Check what websites we have visited) Check in with us and make sure we are following their rules. Do not give permission to us if they think talking to a stranger is a bad idea. Let us come to you when we feel uncomfortable with something we have seen or experienced online. Go through the booklet and sheet at home with us so everyone understands what it is to be safe on the internet!

  14. Have Fun and BE SAFE! You never know who is waiting on the other side…
